It’s here! The Chandler, Arizona Centennial Celebration will begin tomorrow, May 17, 2012 at the Chandler City Hall beginning at 4:30 pm with opening entertainment by the Dreamcatchers, a barbershop quartet comprised of 4 female students from Chandler High School. They will be followed by Chandler’s Basha Jr High concert and finally, Chandler Centennial Community Choir (ages 14+).
The half hour official ceremony will begin at 5:45 and the program will culminate with another performance by the Centennial Choir.
There will be many activities including community and centennial booths & merchandise, sign the birthday cards, make your own party and “100″ glasses, photo booths and souvenir photos, traveling museum and more.
All of the events are free, because who charges for a birthday party right? Of course, there will be road closures so make note~
Chicago Street will be closed from Noon – 8pm. between Arizona Ave & Washington St. Parking is available at City Hall, San Tan Regional Courts, Fire Station, First Credit Union and Police Headquarters.
But that just begins the festivities! See The Chandler Centennial Official Program for a complete list of all the happenings!
Friday, May 18, 2012 is billed “100 Artists Celebrating 100 Years” and that’s what it’s going to be! Music and entertainment beginning at 4pm. There will also, of course, be food and beverage vendors and another highlight ~ Free Southside History Limited Edition Cookbooks (while supplies last) signed by former Chandler Mayor, Mr. Coy Payne.
Saturday, May 19, 2012 will be the party of all parties “Chandler Bash of the Century” from 4:00pm – 10:00pm. Food & Entertainment, BMX Stuntmasters (John Parker, Tom Stober & Mike Payne), Youth & Adult Games, Agricultural Ranch History, Buscuitflats Chuck Wagon demonstrations, Chandler Future Farmers of America petting zoo & more, East Valley Astronomy will offer solar telescopes from 6pm – 10pm, East Valley Model T Club and much more.
