ANNUAL MOTHER'S DAY CELEBRATION - MAY 8TH
ANNUAL MOTHER'S DAY CELEBRATION IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN GLENDALE
Show your mother how much you love and appreciate her with a special day in Historic Downtown Glendale
from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 8.
The locally owned businesses in the Catlin Court and Old Towne entertainment districts have created this event to celebrate the treasured love of moms and have planned a perfect day for mothers, daughters, sisters and friends to celebrate. Start at the Arizona Information Center (5836 W. Palmaire Ave.) to pick up the activity list and walking map.
There will be fun things to do along the way, including make and take activities, artist demonstrations, fun photo ops, lovely gift ideas at the Mom & Pop unique boutiques and specialty shops. Enjoy delicious menu items and sweet treats for your sweet tooth at the iconic eateries.
New this year, Arizona Christian University will present Pedestrian Sounds. The project will feature faculty and undergraduate music students who will perform outdoors as part of an interactive and safely distanced project. Sound spot circles will be placed along sidewalks for pedestrians to step on and walk across while live music plays inviting the participant to compose musical soundscapes as they walk. The project is sponsored by the City of Glendale’s Performing Arts Partnership Program.
Historic Downtown Glendale businesses support numerous charities throughout the year to give back to the West Valley community. This year’s Mother’s Day charity recipient is the Blue Star Moms of the Southwest Valley which sends care packages monthly to deployed military personnel. Event attendees are encouraged to bring care package donations to the Arizona Information Center. Click Here for a list of needed items...
Live! @ Murphy Park
Music is in the Air in Downtown Glendale
The Live! @ Murphy Park performances will take place at Murphy Park’s Amphitheater on Thursday – Sunday nights in May. Each evening, a different band will take the stage. This is a chance to plan a date night or an outing with family or friends and experience the local music scene under the stars.
The series kicks off on Thursday, May 6, 2021. All concerts begin at 7 p.m. and are free of charge. There is also plenty of free parking. In addition to coming for the toe-tapping tunes, visitors should come early and stay late. They won’t want to miss a special art display and light show in the park featuring 40 uniquely painted and decorated wooden guitars. Every guitar was designed by a business located in the greater downtown area.
With award-winning restaurants, eclectic boutiques and historic architecture to enjoy, an extended stay makes the evening like a concert for the senses. Glendale’s great outdoor amphitheater, next to Glendale’s City Hall at 58th Ave. and Glendale Ave, provides a perfect setting to spread out, relax and enjoy the rhythm of spring nights. Join us all month long for Live! @ Murphy Park and let’s make some music together!
