This events list was first published in The Copper Courier’s daily newsletter. Sign up here.
Before we get into today’s newsletter, I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who donated to our end-of-the-year fundraising campaign.
We didn’t quite hit our goal of $4,500—we only got to about 70%—but we still majorly appreciate every dollar that came in, especially during this busy (and financially demanding!) time of year.
One of our readers gave us a nice compliment that specifically shouted out the newsletter’s weekend events section.
So, without further ado, here it is for the week:
- Million Dollar Breakaway in Scottsdale, through Sunday
- AmericaFest in Phoenix, through Sunday
- Beatbox PBR Tucson, Friday
- Mercado Holiday Bazaar in Tucson, Friday-Sunday
- Sanalandia in Phoenix, Saturday
- Winter Wanderland in Phoenix, Saturday
- Glendale Glitters Concert, Saturday
- Last Call Holiday Market in Flagstaff, Saturday
- SV Glowride in Sierra Vista, Saturday
- Pre-Christmas Wellness Market in Tucson, Saturday
If that list is looking a little small to you, there are lots of ongoing Christmas events, light displays, Santa meet-and-greets, and more happening around the state, so check for them in your area.

Support Our Cause
Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Arizonans and our future.
Since day one, our goal here at The Copper Courier has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Arizona families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
