Over the last year, we know many have grown accustomed to being confined indoors but Greer is looking to change that with old-time family fun outdoors.

The village of Greer is excited to announce that it will be hosting the largest annual outdoor event once again – Greer Days 2022. The two-day event is scheduled for Friday, June 10 and Saturday, June 11, 2022 starting from 9am-4pm and welcomes everyone of all ages to participate in the most entertaining weekend in Greer, Arizona. While many worry about being outdoors in the Phoenix blistering heat, those visiting Greer can expect the complete opposite. At the state’s highest elevation (and among the highest nationwide), Greer is positioned at 8,356 ft above sea level offering cooler temperatures in the upper 70’s during the day and low 50’s at night. Greer’s delightful cool summer temperatures make for fabulous day out in the sun especially during Greer Days! With a barrage of activities including local arts and crafts, live music, traditional Lucky Duck race, boat race, children’s games, delicious foods, street parade, 5k charity run and much more! Below is a list of the festivities set to take place at Greer Days 2022:

• 11 AM – 4 PM AZ MST – Heavenly Vendor Village: Featuring arts, crafts and food.
• 3 PM – 5 PM AZ MST – Silent Auction Item Preview at the Community Center: Visit the Greer Community to take an early look at items up for auction, including artwork, fly fishing lessons, and nightly stays in Greer and the Phoenix area.
• 5 PM – Opening Ceremony: The Greer Desperadoes help kickoff Greer Days with good old-fashioned western shootout in front of Molly Butler’s & Restaurant. Enjoy live music later that evening.
