City of Scottsdale June Days Summer Spectacular

The City of Scottsdale is excited to honor the unique attributes of an Arizona summer with the inaugural “June Days” event series, which includes the city’s 70th anniversary celebration on June 25.

Throughout the month of June, Old Town Scottsdale invites locals and visitors to enjoy multiple June Days events. In addition to city-produced signature events, many area businesses, retailers, restaurants, and galleries are getting into the spirit with special activities and deals of their own design to make June Days extra “cool.”

“June Days celebrates the very best Scottsdale has to offer our residents every day as well as pleasing our out-of-town visitors,” says Mayor David Ortega. “There is so much to see and do right in the heart of Old Town throughout the month —something for everyone. I hope that everyone gets an opportunity to come out and celebrate Scottsdale with us this June!”

Signature June Days events include:
