A Little About AZ Poppy Fest

In the past, we have had so many people come to the Globe- Miami Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center who are simply stunned to see the highway near Claypool or the sights at Peridot Mesa lined with bright orange poppies. 

So, in 2021 and 2022, we decided to have a one-day “Poppyfest” with vendors, food trucks, artisans etc.

Well, guess who decided not to show up on this thoughtfully planned event??

The poppies!

They are called “wild”flowers for a reason after all It was tricky timing for a one-day event.

So, now we’ve learned to be patient (mostly) and wait for them to bloom when THEY are ready (not us)…hence a month-long celebration of Spring and especially, our Poppies

While each springs’ flower show varies in its abundance and timing, we invite you to appreciate the Poppies, and to celebrate spring with us. Each weekend in April offers a variety of activities. From First Fridays, to the annual plant sale, to Stairizona Trail Tours, seed-ball making, the STEM Fest, & more.
