Community Events in Anthem — Life Is Better When You Belong

Community Events in Anthem — Life Is Better When You Belong

By jennifer Haugebak, Phoenix Living

One of the things I love most about calling Anthem home is how genuinely alive the community feels. There's always something going on — and that spirit of togetherness is something you feel from day one.

Every March, Anthem Days kicks off with a free community celebration featuring a business expo, craft vendors, carnival rides, food vendors, and live entertainment. It's the kind of event that brings out the whole community and reminds you why you love living here.

Music in May is a favorite for so many residents — every Friday night through the month, neighbors gather with blankets, lawn chairs, and picnic dinners to enjoy live local Arizona bands under the open Anthem sky. It's free, it's fun, and it's exactly the kind of thing that makes a neighborhood feel like home.

Fourth of July in Anthem is a full-blown celebration with fireworks, fun rides, water slides, activities for kids of all ages, and festival food. It draws the whole community together for a night that's hard to forget.

In October, the Autumnfest Arts and Crafts Fair brings vendors from across Arizona, showcasing fine arts, handmade crafts, culinary items, and unique goods.

And then there's the Veterans Day Ceremony — one of the most moving events you'll ever attend. The Veterans Memorial was specially designed so that every November 11th at approximately 11 a.m., sunlight shines directly through the five pillars — representing the five branches of the U.S. military — to illuminate the Great Seal of the United States. It's extraordinary.
