This weekend we are going to experience unseasonably warm, but beautiful Arizona weather. Here are a couple outdoor events taking place in Queen Creek that would be good options to enjoy the beautiful weather.
PEACH BLOSSOM CELEBRATION @ SCHNEPF FARMS:
- 24810 S. Rittenhouse Road, Queen Creek, AZ 85142
- Dates/Time: Thursday-Sunday from 9-4pm
The Peach Blossom Celebration was created so that you could enjoy the beauty of the farm while hundreds of trees are dotted with Pink and white blossoms. Once a year over 80 acres of fruit trees start blooming at all different times and once a year, we open the farm up to celebrate that beauty. When visiting you can take a train ride, hay ride, walking train to see the orchards. Some orchards are smaller than others some may be in full bloom, while others are just starting. “like” our FB Page to keep up to do on when all the blossoms are at their peak.
- Guided Hayrides $6pp This is the must-do when visiting the Peach Blossom Celebration. You will get a personalized tour with Mark Schnepf, farm owner, who will take you to the orchard that has the best bloom. There will be time to get off the hayride for photo taking
- Hayride tours times: Thursday & Friday (11am, noon, 2pm) Saturday & Sunday (11am, noon, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm) More added as needed.
