Meet me on Mill event Friday

A lively celebration of Downtown Tempe will bring the community’s story to life through music, history, local businesses and experiences up and down Mill Avenue.

Meet Me on Mill kicks off at 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 23, with a collection of activations that invite the community to fill the wide, open sidewalks and explore the people, places and moments that have shaped Downtown Tempe’s unique character and its evolution through the years.

The free, family-friendly event is a chance to rediscover familiar favorites, experience something new and reconnect with the character, history and community that make Downtown Tempe what it is.

While exploring the robust lineup of live and interactive entertainment, attendees will have ample opportunity to stop in to explore local shops that will be open late and recharge with special food and drink offerings at local restaurants and bars along the way.

In addition, attendees who purchase a Downtown Tempe business during Meet Me on Mill, then bring their receipt to the Info Booth at 5th Street and Mill Avenue, will have a chance to spin the prize wheel and win Downtown Tempe swag on the spot or score an entry into a grand prize drawing.

 Guests can expect live music, art galleries, ghost tours, performers and more.
