Granite Shoals is celebrating its 60th birthday with the return of the popular family-friendly event GraniteFest this May.
The three-day celebration, May 8-10, commemorates the city’s official incorporation on May 9, 1966, and will bring residents together for a weekend packed with entertainment and community pride.
Festivities will take place on the grounds of Quarry Park, at 2221 N. Phillips Ranch Road.
“On May 9, 1966, Granite Shoals officially became a city, and for 60 years this community has been built by neighbors who care deeply about where they live,” City Manager Sarah Novo told DailyTrib. “GraniteFest, gives us the opportunity to honor the history that has shaped the city while celebrating the future that continues to bring us together.”
The event promises a carnival, vendors, food booths, a car show, kid’s games, live music, fireworks, and more.
“This event is more than just a festival; it’s a time for the community to come together,” Novo said.
