Arizona natives and proud ambassadors of the Arizona lifestyle, Jason and Stacy Grandon of The Grandon Group, are here to welcome you to the most exciting time of the year in the Grand Canyon State—January!
Event season is in full swing, and whether you’re into fast cars, breathtaking fountains, star-studded golf tournaments, or serene outdoor escapes, Arizona has something for everyone this time of year.
Kicking Off Event Season: Barrett-Jackson Car Auction
If you’re looking for a thrilling start to the new year, head over to Scottsdale for the Barrett-Jackson Car Auction, the world’s largest and most prestigious car auction. Even if you’re not a car enthusiast, this is a people-watching paradise. From million-dollar classic cars to sleek supercars worth millions, the event is packed with thousands of attendees, hundreds of vendors, and endless opportunities to shop, explore, and soak in the energy.
And with Arizona’s perfect winter weather—no rain for months and mild, sunny days—there’s no better time to enjoy the outdoors.
Slow It Down in Fountain Hills
Prefer a slower pace? Take a short drive to Fountain Hills and witness the world’s largest fountain. Nestled in a stunning park, the fountain shoots water high into the air every 15 minutes, creating a serene and magical setting. It’s the perfect way to embrace the mild Arizona winter while feeling like spring is just around the corner.
The Waste Management Phoenix Open: The Greatest Show on Grass
As January wraps up, we move into February’s marquee event—the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Known as the world’s largest golf tournament, this event is more than just golf; it’s a spectacle of entertainment, celebrity appearances, and incredible performances.
This year, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani kick things off, followed by Luke Bryan rocking the iconic Bird’s Nest party tent. With millions of dollars flowing into Arizona during this globally-recognized event, it’s the perfect time for The Grandon Group to showcase real estate to a worldwide audience.
Even More Events to Keep You Busy
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Scottsdale’s Parada del Sol Parade brings a touch of Western charm, while the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show showcases equestrian excellence—a tradition close to the Grandon family’s heart. From culinary festivals to horse shows and even Bike Week, Arizona’s event calendar is packed from January through April.
Escape to the Mountains and Beyond
Looking for a change of scenery? Within a two-hour drive, Arizona transforms into an entirely new world. Head north to Flagstaff for skiing and snowboarding or visit Prescott for cool-weather golfing and charming springtime activities. Whether you’re sledding down snowy slopes or teeing off on a pristine course, Arizona’s diverse landscapes offer a lifestyle that few other states can match.
Spring Training Fever
As if the winter events weren’t enough, February kicks off spring training for Major League Baseball. Half of the MLB teams call Arizona home for the season, drawing baseball fans from all over the country. The stadiums are buzzing, the streets are alive, and it’s the perfect opportunity to experience Arizona at its most vibrant.
