Fountain Hills is dialing up its charm with a packed lineup of free events set to scintillate locals and visitors alike throughout 2024, with their freshly minted Visitors Guide now gracing the racks of stores and popping up on websites across Arizona. The overarching theme is there's something in store for everyone, every taste, every age, and interest.
Let's talk about Wednesdays in Fountain Hills, where the Avenue of the Fountains magically turns into a bustling artistic hub with "Art on the Avenue," and mere footsteps away, the Farmers Market unfolds with over 50 vendors serving up local produce, aromas of hot, culinary delights, and the sweet harmonies of live music acts, according to the town's official announcement. The community is not just inviting you to witness valley artists at their creative best with unique pottery, jewelry, and fiber art but also to indulge in the flavors and fare ranging from vegan to gluten-free options so that you never run out of things to love until April 2024.
In a splendid fusion of philanthropy and petrol, the "Greatest Car Show on Grass" or, as it's officially known, Concours in the Hills, just celebrated a decade of dazzling car displays on Feb. 18, benefitting the Phoenix Children’s Hope Fund. Not to be overshadowed, the golden jubilee of the Fountain Hills Fountain Festival of Fine Arts and Crafts painted the town with creativity on February 23-25, showcasing a league of extraordinary artisans. And as if these weren't enough to get your spirits high, Fountain Park is all set to go green—not with envy, but with excitement, for the St. Patty's celebrations with the Irish Fountain Fest and the traditional Greening of the Fountain, according to the official preview.
The Dark Sky Festival on March 30 promises an enlightening experience for star-gazers and nature lovers, with the Fountain Hills Community Center turning into a nocturnal wonderland; and then come April, the Fountain Hills Music Fest is set to entice with melodies under the Arizona sky, complete with food trucks and drink gardens. Every Thursday in April, 'Concerts on the Avenue' will elevate your evening strolls with vibrant soundscape and free-spirited entertainment for the entire family to relish, dance, pack a picnic or just enjoy a self-guided art walk tour announcing their official Wednesday lineup has plenty of homespun entertainment from acoustic to rock bands filling the air and yards games strewn about to keep kids of all stripes occupied.
And as summer peaks, Fountain Park invites you to celebrate the Fourth at the Fountain with a spectacle of light and laughter and when fall sweeps in, the revelry continues with Ballet Under the Stars, spine-tingling Spooky Blast, another Fountain Festival of Fine Arts and Crafts, and echoing footsteps of the 34th Annual Turkey Trot 5K Run, all of which and more promise to keep the festive flame ablaze in Fountain Hills. Indeed, this bustling Arizona community is all but laying out the red carpet for a year-round fiesta, their official announcement gives an exhaustive menu of choices for those who think life should be celebrated, and often.
