When Was The Last Time You Were in Historic Downtown Chandler?

Whether you’re looking for a unique gift or an unforgettable meal at an award-winning restaurant, Historic Downtown Chandler has it all. From the colonnades lining the streets to the old-style lanterns, you can tell that you’re in someplace special from the moment you arrive.

Better yet, everything’s in easy walking distance. Park your car and enjoy an afternoon strolling among the independently-owned shops, visiting one of the art galleries or dining at one of the ever-growing number of eateries—gourmet American, Italian, Mexican, Japanese or just good, old comfort food. Indulge yourself at a day spa…..or one of the dessert hot spots.

And on weekends and during the many special events—from the Downtown Chandler Art Walk to the Chandler Jazz Festival-- stick around to enjoy a wine tasting and live entertainment.

Our first Summer Splash Festival, held on Saturday, July 19 in Dr. A.J. Chandler Park was a huge success! More than 1,000 visitors enjoyed the water slides, dunk tank, water tag, free tot lessons,  food and entertainment.

Many thanks go to our wonderful volunteers, HDE Events, and the local merchants that supported this great day.
