Things to Do in Chandler
Chandler is one of those places where the old and the new collide in their own special way. Take, for instance, the revitalized downtown area. There, you’ll encounter historic homes like McCullough-Price House, built in 1938 and a stunning example of the pueblo revival architectural style. Across the street is the San Marcos Golf Course, which was initially established in 1912. But only steps away are buzzy new eateries and breweries, eclectic art galleries and crowded coffee shops. People go downtown for its palpable energy and frequent events, such as the Farmers’ Market on held on Saturdays through the spring, summer and fall. If anything’s for sure, Chandler celebrates its past while embracing the future.

Looking for culture? You can’t go wrong at the Chandler Center for the Arts. Opening its doors in the early 1990s, the Center has delighted visitors with events ranging from classical music to dance, musical theater and more. The Center supports the visual arts as well, with a 2,000-square-foot gallery located in the main building, in addition to satellite Vision Gallery, in the nearby Chandler City Hall Complex.

Heading south from downtown, you’ll find Tumbleweed Park, a generous green space and recreation center. Locals favor the recreation center for its wide offerings, including community classes, exercise and meeting spaces. Tumbleweed Park is also a home base for some of the area’s most beloved events, including the Ostrich Festival. That’s right – ostriches in Chandler! The region has an (unexpected) history of ostrich ranching, with none other than the city’s founder, Alexander J. Chandler, bringing the birds to the Arizona desert in the early 20^th Century. Although the ostrich industry has mostly fizzled, the festival still celebrates these large flightless birds with rides, food and live music.

Whether you find yourself checking out the tech scene along the Price Road Corridor, at the Chandler Center for the Arts or face-to-face with an ostrich, most agree Chandler is one of the best places to be in Arizona.
