Ostrich Festival draws thousands to Chandler for rides, shows, more
Posted
The Chandler Chamber of Commerce's 2023 Ostrich Festival attracted thousands of Arizonans of all ages to Tumbleweed Park over the weekend for four days of fun.
In addition to an enclosure featuring the birds themselves, there were carnival rides, magic shows, concerts, other stage entertainment, pig races and more.
The festival is one of the biggest annual economic-draw stand-alone events in Chandler.
