The 32nd Annual Chandler Ostrich Festival kicks off back-to-back weekends of family-friendly entertainment March 11-13 and 17-20 at Tumbleweed Park.
Inspired by the colorful early history of ostrich ranching in Arizona – which included raising the exotic birds within city limits – the festival draws around 100,000 visitors each year and has entertained 1.2 million guests since its start in 1989.
The event features hundreds of rides, signature attractions – like the Piggy 500, Ostrich Exhibit and Monster Energy BMX Stunt Show – with food vendors and live music by artists like Uncle Kracker, The Beach Boys, Nelly and The Four Tops.
