Local food. Sunshine. Great music. Colorful decorations. Happy people. All of these things existing together in one place sounds too good to be true, but music festivals have created the perfect recipe for fun. A music festival is an organized community event that includes a series of live performances that can last up to a week, and each one is unforgettable and full of life. Arizona isn't just known for the Grand Canyon, it's known for its music festivals as well.
Below is a list of my top 5 recommended music festivals with links to their YouTube previews to get you pumped for a good time.
