The city of Scottsdale announces the return of June Days this summer. The monthlong extravaganza presents a series of events and experiences in partnership with local Old Town businesses that celebrates the season.

“June Days serves as an opportunity for the city of Scottsdale to highlight some of our independently owned businesses and offer our community a robust series of activities and engagements throughout the summer,” said Rachel Smetana, tourism and events director for the city of Scottsdale. “We invite all our residents and visitors to experience Old Town during June Days.”

June Days’ daily experiences range from wine tastings and art exhibits to yoga mornings, stadium tours and more.
