Superior: Cooler than Phoenix

“We generally run about 10 degrees cooler than the Valley, so it’s a good place to get out of the extreme heat,” Superior Chamber of Commerce President Sue Anderson says. “Everyone is welcome to come to Second Fridays where there is music in the park and the downtown stores stay open late.”
Second Fridays is a year-round happening in the Arizona town that looks like a postcard, with Picketpost Mountain to the southwest and Apache Leap to the east.
Visitors can walk the main streets of downtown Superior to enjoy the shops and food of this gem of an Arizona town.
Entertainment, from local musicians to the ever-popular Folklorico Dancers, takes place in Besich Park, with food trucks on site for a fun and entertaining Friday evening for the whole family.
Second Fridays start at 6 p.m. and go on through 9 p.m. and merchants stay open late for a casual shopping atmosphere.
Independence Day is a big day of celebration in Superior. The holiday action is centered around the city pool.
“The Fourth of July is celebrated with the hometown spirit,” Superior Mayor Mila Besich-Lira says. “There is something to do that’s fun for all ages.”
The day starts with free swimming at the Superior Public Pool, with cornhole tournaments, free hotdogs, watermelon and entertainment.
Bring your shade canopy and enjoy the afternoon in Superior. Fireworks go off after sunset and the fireworks can be seen from throughout the entire town.
Following on the summer theme, August is a big month in the little town at the foot of the mountains.
