President Donald J. Trump is listed as a featured speaker at Turning Point USA's "Build the Red Wall" gathering in north Phoenix on April 17, 2026. The event is set for Dream City Church, where organizers are planning a full day of programming, from early door times to afternoon remarks. Attendees are being warned in advance about Secret Service screening, a strict no-bags policy and limited parking at the church.
Event details and speakers
According to the Build the Red Wall website, the April 17 gathering will take place at Dream City Church at 13613 N. Cave Creek Road in Phoenix. Doors are scheduled to open at 10 a.m., with pre-programming at 12 p.m. and remarks set for 2 p.m. The page lists President Donald J. Trump alongside Erika Kirk and Congressman Andy Biggs as scheduled speakers, and notes that additional names will be added as they are confirmed.
The site also details security and entry rules shaped by United States Secret Service guidance, including a prohibition on bags and a ban on outside beverages. Attendees can expect airport-style screening on the way in and should plan their arrival time accordingly.
Who’s organizing it
Local reporting by ABC15 Arizona identifies Turning Point USA as the group behind the event. ABC15 also notes that while the event site lists Trump as a speaker, the station had not independently confirmed whether the former president will appear in person.
Background: Dream City as a Turning Point venue
Dream City Church is already familiar territory for Turning Point events. President Trump appeared at a Turning Point-backed town hall at the same venue on June 6, 2024, drawing national media attention. The Washington Post reported on that appearance, and the former president’s campaign archived the June 2024 town hall on its event page.
What attendees should know
The event website says registration is required through the event page and that registrants will receive final guidance the night before, including parking and entry instructions. Organizers describe the gathering as first-come, first-served and emphasize that a physical ticket will not be needed at the door. At the same time, they flag limited parking and magnetometer screening as key factors for anyone planning to show up close to start time.
For now, anyone in Phoenix thinking about attending should keep an eye on the event site and local outlets for schedule tweaks or new speaker announcements before heading to Dream City Church.
We will update this post if organizers or the former president’s team release further details or confirm whether Trump will speak in person on April 17, 2026.
