Upcoming Events in Downtown Phoenix

Mayor Phil Gordon - Downtown Phoenix

As Mayor, I want to take a moment to welcome you to downtown Phoenix ... the heart of our city.

We've worked hard in the past 6 years to make downtown a center for science, medicine, education, arts, culture and plenty of recreation. We hope you like what you see.

I hope you'll take the time to find out for yourselves why I'm so proud of this City. Our restaurants, shopping, leisure activities, cultural amenities and sporting events are second to none.

So again, welcome to this page. I hope you have a successful and enjoyable visit in downtown Phoenix.

Best,

Mayor Phil Gordon
