Chandler Ostrich Festival rescheduled for fall 2021 due to coronavirus

PHOENIX — The annual Chandler Ostrich Festival has been postponed for a second time due to coronavirus concerns, organizers announced Friday.

“The safety of our community is our top priority,” the group said in a Twitter post.

The 32nd edition of the festival, which was re-scheduled to run this upcoming March, will be moved to the fall. New dates are being determined by the event’s organizers.

The festival was created in 1988 to celebrate Chandler’s history of ostrich ranching, according to its website.

The event features live music, carnival rides, performers, arts and crafts, food vendors and animal races.

All tickets purchased in 2020 will be honored during the new dates.

The Ostrich Festival will be hosted at Tumbleweed Park at 2250 S. McQueen Road.

Adult tickets are $15. Tickets for seniors and children 4-12 years old cost $8, and admission is free for children younger than 4.
