Step back in time to the days of King Arthur and enjoy what’s billed as the ‘greatest party since Camelot’ at the Arizona Renaissance Faire. This medieval fantasy park features a 12-stage theatre, an outdoor circus, daily jousting tournaments and an incredible variety of foods and arts and crafts. The Faire typically runs from February through March and is conveniently located just east of Apache Junction on US Highway 60.

The Valley’s elite guard gated communities are located in the most scenic and expensive neighborhoods in the state. Guards phone residents before admitting visitors, and service workers enter only at scheduled times. Guests receive a one day restricted visitor’s permit that must be displayed on their vehicle.
