Arizona Celebrates
Join the party!
We’re the last state in the continental U.S. to turn 100, and we are putting on an unforgettable show. The Arizona Centennial Commission has created dozens of signature events to enjoy as part of the Arizona Centennial Commemoration, and a mascot—the Centennial Copper Chopper—as uncommon as the state.
If you missed the Arizona Best Fest, the Fandango! birthday gala, or Centennial Ride, don’t worry. Dozens of local events have taken place all over the state, with dozens more to come. Consider this Centennial Celebration timeline your party planner.
