The fall is finally upon us! The nights are coming quicker & we only have a couple triple digit temperatures remaining. Besides the beautiful 70-80 degree temperatures, there are great concerts and festivals that you will want to make sure to check out. Below is a list of events that I suggest you attend:
Oktoberfest Events
Tempe Town Lake Oktoberfest
One of Arizona’s biggest Oktoberfest celebrations takes place in Tempe Town Lake! The festivities start October 7th and conclude on October 9th. You will be able to find a carnival, dachshund runs, beer and wine gardens, live music, and amusements for the kids. Admission is free, you will just want to make sure you have your ID and cash ready so that you can buy tickets to redeem your Pumpkin Ales!
San Tan Oktoberfest in Chandler Arizona
This event takes place October 1st and will be the ninth annual Oktoberfest for San tan Brewing located in Downtown Chandler. The event starts at 3 PM and ends at 11 PM. Admission is $12 (kids 12 and under are free). The event includes keg rolling, tricycle races, keg contests, beer pong, eating contests and more!

Hiking Season is Here
Outside of all the great events taking place one of Arizona’s greatest assets is all of it’s hiking trails. No matter where you are located in the Valley, nature isn’t far. Some of the best locations to escape include:
This location has clear trails and well-marked tracks. Due to the higher elevation, it receives more rain than other trails making it more colorful than some other hiking areas. It’s also a great spot for mountain bikers.
A beautiful trail located in Scottsdale, you can catch great views of the creosote plants, cholla cactus & the local wildlife. Certain locations also include rock climbing & star gazing. This is a moderate hike and has a number of ups and downs throughout its 1.75-mile trail.
This is a gorgeous 3.7-mile trail with plenty of vegetation and provides breathtaking views of Phoenix and Four Peaks. If you take on this hike make sure to check out the natural cave called Ogre’s Den, which features beautiful art and trinkets.
This article could really be a few thousand words long. There is just so much to do in this beautiful state now that Winter is around the corner. Do you have other hot spots or events that you would like to add to this list? Please feel free to leave a comment below. 🙂
