LOCATION: Quartermaster Depot State Historic Park (location is tricky...just walk across the…read morebridge located behind Yuma's Old City Hall). The main intersection for the Old City Hall (with ample parking here) is North 2nd Ave and West 1st St. PARKING: The event provides free parking in the dirt lots surrounding the Old City Hall. We were actually turned away from a couple of parking areas (due to max capacity). However, be patient, you'll find spot! Street parking was full... ATMOSPHERE AND DESCRIPTION OF EVENT: This year was Yuma's 13th annual event held the weekend of 11-13 March. This event was ALL about food!! The size of the crowd (for Yuma) was large and very festive! The food court section was right near the entrance featuring Hofbraus House, Nature's Express, and vendors serving kabobs, Dippin' Dots, and other tasty items. Be careful...don't eat too much here - there is large building deeper in the depot hosting a variety of local businesses with samplings of their food! This area was called the "Yuma Recipe Box Event" which allowed patrons to purchase wristbands for $10 and enter a building with many eateries flaunting samples of their food! Local businesses here included Da Boyz, The Garden Café, Ciao Bella, Market Wine Bistro, Quechan, Papa Murphy's Pizza, Hilton Garden Inn Restaurant, Burgers & Beer, Jennie Wah's, and La Fonda. We ate so much! There were also beer (Fat Tire, etc.) and wine tastings from Yuma's Main Squeeze. There were many exhibits from local businesses such as Yuma Community Food Bank (the set up their own Farmer's Market with super-cheap produce like two pounds of butter lettuce for $1 - bunches of spring onions for 25 cents or radishes for 50 cents!), Dole (gave out free samples), and others. There were also date shakes and kettle corn stands - yummy! There were chef exhibitions with fruit carving, chocolate-dipped-fruit samples, and cooking demonstrations. Entertainment seemed non-stop: live belly-dancers, local high school cheerleaders, other dancing organizations, etc. CONCLUSION: It was a beautiful day for walking around and seeing so many local eateries. Living in Yuma for over 8 years, I am ashamed that I never visited the festival previously. I WON'T miss it again! I strongly recommend that you check it out!

Wow! Lots of updates since last year. Looking good. From the parking lot off of 32nd St. to the…read morepaved lot further back where we were allowed to unload. Even with the rings set on the property, the field appears very nicely maintained. Maybe all the rain AZ has received recently has contributed to that. Clearly various activities occur here but I'm here for the dog shows hosted by the Yuma Kennel Club and the Imperial Valley Kennel Club. There are a few vendors offering everything from toys, treats, chews, collars and leashes to those providing beverages, snacks, and meals to help us keep up our energy for winning, long show days. Club members are helpful and cheerful volunteers. Exhibitors bring some impressive competition. And in addition to the Conformation show you may also see Rally Trials as well as CGC and ATT testing offered. A really nice venue.

Yuma Airshow is held in March. 2025 it was one day. The entry and show is free and is on base but…read moreopen to the public. Security is high. Car is sniffed by military working dog and they inspect bags and body scan you. Once inside, there were food trucks, special areas you could pay for to have seating, free area with aircraft for pics, and non food vendors. Entry started at 9am. Show was from 10:30-4. Show was informative and great. It's very loud. I recommend sunscreen, hat, water bottle, earplugs, foldable chair, see through bags, camera with extra charger.

The act of picking your produce is something that should not be missed. The chance to pick from the…read moreground fresh produce for cheap is a special opportunity, seeing that Yuma supplies more than half of produce all around the country during the wintertime. It's usually happens just days after various fundraising events are held. For less than $20 (or more if you feel so inclined) you can go out the fields a few feet away from the parking spaces and take from a variety of natural goodness, such as kale, red/green leaf lettuces, carrots, bok choi and many others. The vibe is friendly and there's additional staff to answer any questions, help locate and/or dig out the various produce. They also provide disposable gloves but I brought my own. We also brought our kids, who picked their own for their meals and such. Overall, it's a great way to spend the day, either to gather for meals, family time, a something to do and/or to get away from the everyday. If not here, then consider other places to pick from. Healthier food choices are always a good thing! Very much worth it!

The Western Arizona Stand Down was a 1 - day event for veterans and family members, connecting them with access to support services for wellness, legal, housing and the like. It started at noon; I arrived around 11:45am thinking I'd be early but I was wrong. I parked on the street because the Legion's parking lot was already full; no worries. After signing in and receiving a raffle ticket, I got a plate of food and watched as the Color Guard and the VIP's each did their thing. After that, I went around to the different services, talking to the reps and picking up the free swag (I love trinkets!). I also had a free flu shot and eye exam done. Free haircuts were avail, but I took a pass. I did win a raffle prize, though! All in all, it was a good time. Lots of information was made available, lots of services were rendered. Worth it.
