TABLE OF CONTENTS
FALL AND WINTER ARE HERE, ELOY!
With the temperatures cooling off and kids back in school, the City of Eloy wants to remind you to follow some safety tips, share the road responsibly and be extra cautious in school crossing areas to keep all our children safe.
Fall and Winter is an exciting time for the City of Eloy. September kicks it off with the Fiestas Patrias, an annual event hosted at Main Street Park. The event commemorates the Mexican Independence Day in which we celebrate the rich Hispanic culture with music, food, and entertainment. The two-day celebration is family friendly with entertainment for children and is free for all to attend.
November 4, don’t miss the 2nd Annual Eloy Glow & Festival, where hot air balloons surround downtown Eloy and you have the opportunity to see these colorful aerial balloons up close. There will be live music, food, and so much more for people to enjoy.
Come join us November 11, Veterans Day, where we honor our military veterans who have served this country. The morning begins with the Annual Veterans Day Parade
followed by a celebration at Main Street Park. We love and support all of the veterans in our community! Thank you for your sacrifice and service. Bring the entire family and celebrate “Christmas in Eloy” at Main Street Park on December 9. The night begins with the Christmas tree lighting followed by the Electric Light Parade. There will be carnival rides, games, lots of food, drinks, and of course it would not be complete without a visit from SANTA CLAUS!
End the year with Wreaths Across America at Eloy Memorial Park on December 16, where we remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach our children the value of freedom by laying Wreaths of Remembrance on the graves of our country’s fallen heroes.
We continue to work on bringing new business, residents and activities to the City. While we have been successful in increasing job opportunities in the city we are working diligently on housing, streets and activities that will make living in Eloy an even better experience for all. living experience all.
We want all of our citizens to enjoy all Eloy has to offer and do it in a safe and healthy way. Let’s work together to keep our city clean, safe and an enjoyable place to live and work.
