March Madness is coming to the Valley… in April! The 64-strong NCAA men’s basketball tournament will be whittled down to four title-hungry teams by the time it makes landfall in Phoenix on April 6, bringing with it the eyes of the U.S. sporting world. Join the fun in Downtown Phoenix – ground zero for Final Four fan events and shows.  

Fan Fest organizers promise “a sports wonderland of interactive games, special celebrity and athlete appearances, autograph signings, and much more.” At the Valley’s 2017 Final Four, the lion’s share of events were staged at the Phoenix Convention Center.

Final Four insiders say the 2024 Fan Fest itinerary will include plentiful live music, staged at nearby Margaret T. Hance Park, home of M3F Festival and other top outdoor festivals.

Pro Tip: Parking

Instead of fighting Downtown traffic, park at a Valley Metro park-and-ride lot along Camelback Road or Washington Street and take the light rail Downtown. Visit valleymetro.org/how-to-ride/park-and-ride for a map of parking spots.
