Every February, thousands venture to Arizona's pocket-size borough, Fountain Hills, for its signature Great Fair.

This three-day festival (February 22, 23 and 24) has earned an impeccable reputation over the last quarter century by providing numerous entertaining events.

A jury of event tents will line the perimeter of downtown Fountain Hills and its famous fountain. According to festival organizers, more than 500 local and international artists and artisans will sell their goods to a crowd of more than 200,000 attendees.

With free parking and free admission, the event is an opportunity for newcomers and veterans will scale the centerfold showcase of art, music and food. Continuous live music will guide attendees through each artist's display of featured art, including handmade jewelry, metal art, sculptures and blown glass.

The Fountain Hills Great Fair runs February 22 to 23 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m..
