Stage Left Productions in Glendale announced its new 2026 season that will feature 11 shows from January through December — including a milestone 100th production — with tickets set at $34 each.

The Tianyu Lights Festival returns to Camelback Ranch—Glendale this fall with over 60 groups displaying more than 1,000 handcrafted lantern pieces.

Glendale repealed panhandling restrictions on Sept 9 to avoid costly litigation after legal groups argued the ordinances violated free speech rights—attorneys are now pursuing a permanent injunction to stop future similar rules.

A licensed therapist in Maricopa County said Prop409 will fund a new behavioral health hospital—one that will double its beds and add modern facilities to support better patient care; the vote will occur this November and promises to improve services for local residents.

Tripadvisor recognized four restaurants in Arizona in its 2025 Travelers’ Choice Awards, including Arrowhead Grill in Glendale and three Sedona spots known for their scenic views and dining appeal.

Reviewers praised Arrowhead Grill for its steak and lamb chops — a local favorite for family gatherings.
