Phoenix Festivals and Events in July

Things to Do in Greater Phoenix in July

July is typically a month for water parks, splash pads and heading up to northern Arizona to cooler destinations, but there are still some festivals, activities, and events in Phoenix in July. Thankfully, the heat doesn’t stop the summer bands from including Phoenix on their tours.

These are the community events that you can count on year in and year out. All dates, prices, and activities mentioned are subject to change without notice.

Check the website or call our real estate agent in Phoenix to confirm information. The activities in this event calendar are appropriate for families unless otherwise indicated. If the event is free, I’ll mention that, too.
