While the summer heat is in full swing, the Town of Queen Creek is preparing for an exciting lineup of fall events. Businesses and organizations are invited to participate in the fun by hosting a vendor booth, sponsorships or volunteering.
Founders’ Day, celebrating the town’s heritage and anniversary, will be on Saturday, Sept. 17 and Trunk or Treat will be on Saturday, Oct. 15.
Vendor fees vary from $125 to $200 based on booth type; a discount is available for businesses and organizations that register for Founders’ Day, Trunk or Treat and Spring into QC (in March 2023). All booth spaces are 10 feet by 10 feet; vendors are responsible for their own supplies and equipment. Information regarding vendor fees and applications are available online at QueenCreekAZ.gov/SpecialEvents. The deadline for Founders’ Day vendors is Aug. 11 and the deadline for Trunk or Treat vendors is Sept. 8; late fees apply if submitted after the deadline.
Founders’ Day will be at Founders’ Park, located at 22407 S. Ellsworth Road, from 5 to 9 p.m. This popular home-town event will include fun activities, great food, music, entertainment, Battle of the Bags and the exciting Battle of the Badges.
Trunk or Treat provides a safe and unique way for families to enjoy an evening of Halloween fun in a festival atmosphere. Trunk or Treat will be in the Town Center, on Ellsworth Road, north of Ocotillo Road, from 5 to 9 p.m. Along with other exciting Halloween attractions, children trick‐or-treat by going from car trunk to car trunk on “Trunk or Treat Street” to get their bags filled with goodies.
Get in the spooky spirit by participating as a trunk host – the fee is $50, and all candy is provided by the town. The trunk host deadline is also Sept. 8. Additional opportunities for community involvement include carnival booths and entertainment. Visit QueenCreekAZ.gov/SpecialEvents for details and applications.
