This Father’s Day weekend, get in one of Arizona’s best new family events of the summer. It’s called The Scottsdale Fahrenheit Festival!

While most of Arizona’s popular events take place in the cooler months, organizers for this event are hoping to mix things up by embracing the heat rather than avoiding it.

The festival provides something new and fun for everyone in the family.

It will take place Saturday, June 16th at WestWorld from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

You don’t want to miss the world’s tallest inflatable water slide that stands 5 stories high or the fast pitch baseball contest.

Trophies will be awarded to the winners with the most “heat” and of course the festival will include all things hot, including fire performances by one of the Valley’s most popular fire dancers, Burden Blossom.

There will also be plenty of sweets for the kids to enjoy.

The first 500 kids through the door will get a free box of Hot Tamales candy and Udder Delights, a local ice cream company that uses an Arizona based dairy farm, selling unique flavors of ice cream ranging from sweet to spicy.

In honor of Father’s Day weekend, there’s also something for dads who attend. It’s the richest arm wrestling contest in the nation with the World’s Greatest Arm Wrestler, Travis Bagent.

They’ll also have collectible hot rods on display inside the North Hall at WestWorld, which is best known as the auction arena for the world-famous Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction.

Tickets are only $5 in advance and $10 at the door, with free admission for kids 12 and under.
