Where Downtown Tempe’s Story Comes Alive
This one-night community celebration brings Downtown Tempe’s story to life through music, history, local businesses, and experiences found throughout Mill Avenue.
Explore the people, places, and moments that have shaped downtown through guided public art, history, and music tours, local storytelling, and activations from new and longtime businesses. Enjoy free live music across two stages and inside participating businesses, catch buskers along Mill Avenue, and stop into local restaurants, bars, and shops for food and drink offerings along the way.
It’s a chance to rediscover familiar favorites, experience something new, and reconnect with the character, history, and community that make Downtown Tempe what it is. Come be part of the celebration and meet us on Mill!
