Show your mother how much you love and appreciate her with a special day in Historic Downtown Glendale from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 8, 2021. The locally owned businesses in the Catlin Court and Old Towne entertainment districts have created this event to celebrate the treasured love of moms and have planned a perfect day for mothers, daughters, sisters and friends to celebrate. Start at the Arizona Information Center (5836 W. Palmaire Ave.) to pick up the activity list and walking map. There will be fun things to do along the way, including make and take activities, artist demonstrations, fun photo ops, lovely gift ideas at the locally-owned unique boutiques and specialty shops and delicious menu items and sweet treats for your sweet tooth at the iconic eateries. Historic Downtown Glendale businesses support numerous charities throughout the year to give back to the West Valley community. This year’s Mother’s Day charity recipient is the Blue Star Moms of the Southwest Valley which sends care packages monthly to deployed military personnel. Event attendees are encouraged to bring care package donations to the Arizona Information Center. A list of needed items is available online at www.VisitDowntownGlendale.com.

The Mother’s Day Celebration is presented by the Historic Downtown Glendale Merchants Association, a merchant driven organization which stimulates, enhances, and sustains the economic vitality and customer experience of the Historic Downtown Glendale Shopping and Dining District.
