Chandler Chamber to hold 31st annual Ostrich Festival this weekend

PHOENIX — The Chandler Chamber’s 31st annual Ostrich Festival this weekend is about much more than the flightless birds.

The event at Tumbleweed Park, located near McQueen and Germann roads, will feature major musical acts, more than 40 carnival rides and a 1,000-square-foot bounce house.

There will also be a petting zoo, a meet-and-greet with characters from “PJ Masks,” multiple stunt shows, pony rides, dog and pig races and, yes, an ostrich exhibit.

The event is open Friday from 2 p.m. to midnight, Saturday 10 a.m. to midnight and Sunday 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.
