The ribbon cutting starts the celebration at 4 PM, followed by food trucks, rock painting, giveaways and free activities for the whole family until 6 PM. It is a good chance for children to explore the garden on its first day and paint a rock to take home. The garden project was funded through the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records with money appropriated by the state legislature. The activities are free; food from the trucks is sold separately. The library is on North Idaho Road, and the party runs on a Thursday afternoon, so it works right after school. ## Similar picks coming up in Phoenix - [Photos with Santa — Superstition Springs Center](https://grassyknees.com/phoenix/activities/photos-with-santa-superstition-springs-center--listing-3cffb88a6d0ecdeab4f8df10) — Nov 13 – Dec 24 · 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM · Superstition Springs Center — Center Court near JCPenney, Mesa · All ages · Free · checked Oct 24.
