May in Phoenix is one of our favorite times of the year in Arizona. It’s just before the intense summer heat, but after the cooler winter air. It’s the perfect time for outdoor adventures, local festivals, and more!
Start the month off with a cultural classic: the Cinco de Mayo Festival. Taking place on Sunday, May 7th, this beloved tradition remembers the Battle of Puebla and includes all of your favorite Mexican food. Live music, traditional dancing, and games make this festival one to write home about.
After you’ve had your fill of the unlimited tacos from the Cinco de Mayo Festival, swing by Schnepf Farms Peach Festival for a sweet time. This Peach Festival includes free hayrides, rides, a pancake breakfast, and — of course — peach picking! Taking place on the weekend of May 12th -14th and 20th-21st, this is guaranteed to be a peachy time for every member of the family.
Sprinkle in a few concerts, like country superstar Chris Stapleton, before heading to the Queen Creek Lemonade Days. After you’ve had your fill of the icy, fresh lemonade, wrap up the month with a stroll through Phoenix Comicon. Featuring beloved guests like Bonnie Wright, Danny Trejo, and Alan Tudyk, your Memorial Day Weekend will be one for the books.
With all of these outstanding events, May will be a busy — but fantastic — month! For more details and activity ideas, visit AZ Central. And, of course, be sure to stop by our service center before you go to ensure that your car is prepped and ready to go.
