Event Details

Date: Friday, August 9
Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Fun for the Whole Family

This free family fun event promises entertainment for all ages. From thrilling water slides for the little ones to a daring 30-foot slide for the older and bolder kids, there's something for everyone. Test your skills on the obstacle course and see if you can conquer the swinging arm of doom – will you be able to stay on your feet?

Exciting Demonstrations and Displays

The event will also feature displays by local law enforcement. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office will showcase their coolest vehicles and teams, including the Bomb Squad, SWAT, and K9 unit. Don’t miss the demonstration as a four-legged deputy takes down a “bad guy.” Plus, catch a glimpse of the MCSO helicopter up close!
