As Goodyear, Arizona, gears up for the fall event season, city officials are promoting their latest podcast episode, "Nobody Does Events Like Goodyear," which promises to transform the Goodyear Civic Square into a holiday destination. Natalie Reinen, Goodyear's Festival and Events Coordinator, shared her excitement in the recent episode, saying, "There really is something magical about Goodyear Civic Square during the holidays." She added, "I’m always in awe of all of the lights and just the people that are out in the square enjoying them," as reported by the City of Goodyear.
The city isn't holding back on the Halloween festivities either, with an enhanced haunted trail and new costume contest categories planned for this year's Fall Festival at Goodyear Ballpark. They've even introduced a "People's Choice" costume category based on feedback from residents. "One of the things we heard from resident after last year's Fall Festival was wanting to have a People’s Choice costume category," Reinen disclosed in a statement made by the City of Goodyear. This is a testament to Goodyear's commitment to cater to their community's desires for their seasonal events.
Listeners interested in the detailed preparations for these events can find the full story on the latest "Growing Goodyear" episode, which is now available for download. Hosted by Tammy Vo and Jordan Byrd, the podcast ventures into various community issues and celebrates the nuances that make Goodyear stand out. Residents can subscribe to the podcast on multiple platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and Amazon Music, as per the official City of Goodyear announcement.
It's not just the lights and candy attracting attention this season. The Fall Festival will feature over a quarter of a million pieces of candy for participants, making it a great spot for treat-seekers of all ages. With these events approaching, the City of Goodyear is committed to creating memorable community experiences for both children and adults.
