Phoenix Street Festivals are Coming!
Street festivals in Phoenix are some of the very best things to enjoy in the summertime. From food and drink to arts and crafts, music, and dancing, the Valley is home to dozens of street fairs that you and your loved ones can enjoy. While it’s important to enjoy the entertainment, culture, and cuisine that Metro Phoenix offers, it’s also important to be mindful of your party’s safety. Here are some safety tips to help you get the most out of street festivals in Phoenix.
Safety Tips for Street Festivals in Phoenix
You, your family, and friends can enjoy a safe and sound holiday by following these simple precautions:
- Do you like getting into the holiday spirit with appropriate costumes? Avoid masks or any other items than can impair your vision or breathing.
- Don’t skirt police barricades or enter any restricted areas. These places are closed off for a reason.
- Refrain from pushing and shoving other people. Nothing is so urgent that you need to create personal injury risks just to get there.
- If you attend with children, keep them in your sight at all times with no exceptions. Many frightening situations occur when a parent turns his or her back “just for a second.”
- Keep small trinkets and other choking hazards out of children’s hands.
- When attending festivals with parades, stay well out of the way of the parade route and floats.
- It’s easy to underestimate your alcohol consumption when you’re outside in the sunshine and fresh air. Know your limits and stay within them.
- Establish a meeting place and contingency plan in case you and your group become separated.
- Exercise caution when driving around the festival area. Better yet, use public transportation or ride-sharing services.
