Events
Mill Avenue is the entertainment center of the Valley of the Sun with something hot happening almost every day. Live music, theater, sporting events, arts, culture, fairs, and festivals are just a few events that happen year-round in the Mill Avenue District. Mill Avenue sponsored annual events are some of the most attended in the country and include its twice per year Tempe Festival of the Arts presented by Centerpoint Condominiums which attracts over half a million people. The 4th of July Fireworks celebration is the best Fourth of July show in the Phoenix area. The Insight Fiesta Bowl Block Party is a New Year's Eve bash you do not want to miss. More than 100,000 jam the Mill Avenue District to bring in the New Year with national and local headlining entertainment groups. This is the street party of all street parties. Other annual events include the Tempe Music Festival and Oktoberfest. During the holiday Christmas season enjoy the APS Fantasy of Lights Opening Night and the APS Fantasy of Lights Boat Parade on Tempe Town Lake. And of course don't forget the sporting events, which include the Insight Bowl at Sun Devil Stadium and the Ironman Triathalon at Tempe Beach Park.
