Schedule of Events

For three fun-filled days in March, Tumbleweed Park in Chandler Arizona will resound with music, excitement, and laughter. Two stages spotlight a diverse sampling of great music, while a huge midway provides excitement to thousands of festival fans. Ostrich races complete with human jockeys are a sight unique to Chandler! Like any world class festival, all kinds of food will be available from the traditional fair favorites to Ostrich burgers.

Thanks to the Chandler Chamber of Commerce, the area's rich and unusual heritage in Ostrich ranching provides the basis for a wonderful family oriented community event. Young and old alike can explore, relax, and enjoy the many exhibits, games, and shows.

The Kids Zone is just for kids. It's loaded with all kinds of toys, bounces, animals and games. Our huge petting zoo is always a favorite. Cheer on your favorite pig in the pig races, or ride the ponies - there's so much to do!

All day, the Community Stage features area dance, music, martial arts, and other entertaining talents. Then at night, it's the fun place to be with a music stage and dance floor. Also in the evenings, the Main Stage presents national headline acts sure to please. Plan to spend some fun time this year as we celebrate Chandler's unique heritage in a fun family friendly festival.
