Community Activities Guide Returns this Fall
Published on August 13, 2026
Brace yourself, Maricopa—a fresh season of fun is about to hit! From the return of Salsa Fest to the magic of Merry Copa, and from pickleball tournaments to Pokémon clubs, Out & About Maricopa is your guide to discovering new adventures right here in Maricopa. And if you're the one planning the fun, it's your home base to put all your neighbors on notice.
Returning this fall, the City of Maricopa's Community Activities Guide will serve as the community's one-stop resource for recreation programs, community events, library activities, arts and culture, local entertainment, seasonal celebrations and more. Published quarterly, the guide is designed to help residents discover new experiences, connect with their community and make the most of everything Maricopa has to offer.
Whether it's registering for a youth sports league, finding a family event, exploring a new class, attending a concert or festival, or discovering ways to get involved, the guide will bring together opportunities from across the community in one convenient publication.
"Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for residents to get outside, get connected and make memories with family and friends," said Quinn Konold, Director of Communications & Cultural Services. "We also want to make it simple and affordable for local nonprofits, community organizations, businesses and event organizers to promote what they have to offer. Maricopa has so much happening throughout the year, and this guide brings it all together in one place so residents can spend less time searching and more time enjoying everything there is to do."
To produce the guide, the City has partnered with Casa Grande Valley Newspapers Inc., publisher of the Maricopa Monitor, and the Greater Maricopa Business Alliance (GMBA). Together, the organizations will produce and distribute the quarterly publication while also showcasing local businesses, organizations and activities that help make Maricopa a vibrant place to live.
"The best communities are the ones where people know what's happening and feel connected to what's around them," said Kelly Anderson, Director of the Greater Maricopa Business Alliance. "We're proud to help build a resource that celebrates everything our community has to offer while creating new opportunities for local businesses and nonprofits to reach residents."

“Partnerships like these are at the heart of what we do,” said Zoe Cooper, Creative Advertising Manager for CGVNI. “Throughout Pinal County and across Arizona, we work alongside municipalities to create publications that inform, connect and promote their communities. We look forward to continuing this collaboration and sharing the stories, opportunities and businesses that make Maricopa thrive.”
The inaugural edition under the new partnership is expected to be released in September and will be available in both print and digital formats.
