Glendale, Arizona

Located on the western edge of Phoenix, Glendale is a well-situated, only 20 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Glendale, Arizona's fourth largest city, has been shaped into an eclectic community with a variety of attractions, including the famous downtown shopping district, which is separated into two distinctly enchanting sections: Historic Catlin Court and Old Towne (which leads the way to the famous antique stores).

Glendale is host to festivals and special events, such as the Glendale Jazz and Blues festival held in the spring, and the Sweet Onion Festival in May.

Check out the events held at Glendale Civic Center, which is located in the heart of historic downtown. This facility is the largest of its kind in the west valley, with their grand ballroom holding up to 1,300 people in comfort.

If you love sports, you can enjoy the many facilities Glendale has to offer. And you can enjoy not only sports, but concerts at the Glendale Arena. But speaking of sports, Glendale is already home to the Phoenix Coyotes, while the new home of the NFL's Cardinals is scheduled to open for the 2006 season. And a few miles from the city you'll find the spring training sites of several MLB teams, and regular-season home games of the Diamondbacks and the Suns.
