The first weekend of June, the Town of Wickenburg is celebrating its 110^th Anniversary of Incorporation. The Centennial Plus 10 Celebration will include a full schedule of events for all ages with an emphasis on the centurions of the community.

Activities for children will be included in the 2019 Summer Kick Off on Friday, May 31^st at Coffinger Park and the Municipal Swimming Pool Complex. A fun-filled and exciting line up of games, bounce houses, food and ice cream along with the season’s first Dive In Movie will get all in the spirit to celebrate! Free fun starts at 4:30 pm, the Pool Opens at 7 pm and the Dive-In Movie, “Ralph Breaks the Internet” starts at 8 pm. (Standard Pool Admission Prices Apply for the Dive-In Movie.)

The Centennial Plus 10 main event on Saturday, June 1^st from 5 pm – 10 pm will include a kids parade, BBQ, beer garden, display of antique wagons, classy car show, games, silent auction, cake walk and a good ole’ fashioned country western street dance featuring Dan McCorrison and the Steel Nickel Band.

Local non-profits will have an opportunity to showcase their organizations and a few commercial booths will be made available for a reasonable vendor fee. In fond memory of the original Centennial Gathering, a new time capsule will be prepared so begin thinking about your best memories of Wickenburg and look for upcoming information about how to have them included in the new time capsule. Local youngsters will be selected to become “Capsule Keepers” for Wickenburg’s 150^th Anniversary Celebration in 2059.
