As the pace of the season begins to slow, Carefree is still buzzing with can’t-miss events, important community updates, and opportunities to stay connected this May!
Residents and visitors are encouraged to enjoy some of the final signature events of the season, including Carefree Art Night, Sanderson Lincoln Saturdays, and Corvettes and Coffee. Make sure to dine locally during Carefree's Spring Restaurant Week and honor fallen soldiers during our annual Memorial Day Tribute. As election season approaches, the newsletter also spotlights the upcoming Carefree-Cave Creek Chamber of Commerce Candidate Forum, and you can also get involved in local government through upcoming Town Council and Planning & Zoning Commission meetings. Readers can explore the Mayor’s reflection on the strong partnership between the Town of Carefree and Rural Metro Fire, as well as an overview of the proposed FY 2026–27 budget and information about the ongoing Zoning Ordinance Update's recent Community Workshop.
Additional features include a look at the creative desert-themed storm drain initiative, a business highlight on Pizzicata, updates on local business events, and a recap of the many memorable moments from last month’s busy weekends.
