Queen Creek, AZ Community

Queen Creek’s beloved annual tradition, Founders’ Day, returns this year with all the charm and community spirit residents have come to cherish. This special celebration honors the heritage and growth of our wonderful town while bringing neighbors together for an evening of fun and festivities. Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 20, 2025, when the town will come alive with excitement from 5-9 p.m., offering four hours packed with activities that showcase the friendly, close-knit nature of our Queen Creek community.

Founders’ Day embodies everything that makes Queen Creek special—our sense of togetherness, our appreciation for simple pleasures, and our commitment to creating lasting memories for families. The event transforms ordinary spaces into lively gathering spots where longtime residents mingle with newcomers, creating connections that strengthen our community bonds. As the sun begins to set on that September evening, the atmosphere fills with laughter, conversation, and the kind of genuine warmth that defines small-town celebrations at their best.

Families will find themselves spoiled for choice with the array of activities planned for this year’s Founders’ Day celebration. Children and adults alike can participate in spirited eating contests that always draw crowds of cheering spectators or bounce to their heart’s content on colorful inflatables spread throughout the venue. Traditional lawn games offer opportunities for friendly competition, while the always-popular pig racing events promise to deliver squeals of delight from participants and onlookers.

One of the highlights of the evening will be the Battle of the Badge relay competitions, where our local heroes from different emergency service departments compete in good-natured challenges that showcase both athletic skill and community spirit. These competitions not only provide entertainment but also allow residents to show appreciation for the men and women who serve our community daily.
