The city of Phoenix has announced the return of ‘602 Day’ on Monday, June 2.

This second annual celebration honors the city’s 602 area code, and showcases the local culture, businesses and community spirit that make Phoenix unique, the city said in a press release.

Following the positive response to last year’s inaugural celebration, which drew thousands of residents and visitors across the city, the second annual 602 Day is back with more than 250 participating businesses, neighborhood celebrations and cultural engagement opportunities.

Local restaurants, boutiques, service providers and venues are again hosting celebrations and offering exclusive deals, from discounted meals to limited-edition merch.

“602 Day is a celebration of everything Phoenix — our local businesses, diverse neighborhoods and the creative spirit that drives our city forward,” stated Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego in a news release. “It’s a chance for residents to show their hometown pride, discover new local experiences and sample some great cuisine.”

An interactive, mobile-friendly map listing all participating businesses and their exclusive 602 Day deals is available at 602Day.com. The website also indicates when organizations are celebrating — some businesses have special deals all week or for multiple days while others are exclusive to Monday, June 2. This resource will make it easy to plan your day and support local establishments.

This year, residents can buy limited-edition 602 Day T-shirts designed by local lifestyle brand State Forty Eight, available starting Tuesday, May 27 on the brand’s website. The design highlights Phoenix pride that locals can wear year-round.

In addition to business promotions, the mayor and city council, as well as several City departments will participate in 602 Day:
