Marana Founder’s Day

Marana Founder’s Day will be held on Saturday, March 20th, 2027.  Founders’ Day Parade and Festivities is Marana’s birthday! Forty-nine years ago, a group of Southern Arizona farmers changed history. Marana was officially incorporated on March 21, 1977, and has exponentially grown to become the second-largest populated town in southern Arizona. Today, Marana is home to over 60,000 people and still growing! Now, on the third Saturday in March, friends, neighbors, and visitors come together in Downtown Marana to honor the community’s heritage with the “Biggest Little Parade in Arizona” and festivities afterward.

Ed Honea Marana Municipal Complex is located at 11555 W Civic Center Drive.  For more information, visit their website at https://www.maranaaz.gov/Departments/Parks-Recreation/Signature-Community-Events/Founders-Day-Parade-Festivities.
