Families can enjoy live music by local favorites Walt Richardson and Rock Lobster, games, face painting, a rock-climbing wall, a trackless train, mini golf, crafts and so much more. Food trucks and local vendors will offer concessions for sale.

Tempe Boat Rentals will offer free 30-minute kayak and pedal boat rentals on a first-come, first-served basis.

Tempe Town Lake was finished and filled 25 years ago in 1999.
