Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The so-called Year of Barbie isn’t over yet, especially in the Valley.
To capitalize on the success of the blockbuster summer film, Mattel is sending two Barbie Dreamhouse Living trucks around the country, and one will soon stop in metro Phoenix on two consecutive weekends.
On Dec. 2, the truck – it’s more of a van, actually – will park itself at Scottsdale Quarter, 15279 N. Scottsdale Road, #260, Scottsdale. From 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Barbie fans can take pictures with the vehicle and pick up themed merch such as water bottles, T-shirts, blankets, pet bowls, beach towels, patches and more. You’ll be able to find the party in the Quad area of Scottsdale Quarter near the fountains.
On Dec. 9, the tour will stop at Chandler Fashion Center, 3111 W. Chandler Blvd., Chandler. Hours that day are also 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the truck will be parked at the food court entrance across the way from The Old Spaghetti Factory.
If you want to see what the truck has to offer, you can visit the merch website, where you can also buy some of the items.
Visit the Mattel website for more details.
And if you still need more Barbie, don’t forget that the Phoenix Art Museum will host a blockbuster exhibit, “Barbie: A Cultural Icon,” beginning Feb. 14, 2024.
