Queen Creek’s Messy Fest, 2018: Here’s the Dirt

3rd Annual Event Set for Sept. 15; Benefits Childhelp

QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. - If it’s slimy, muddy, ooey or gooey, expect it in spades at Queen Creek’s favorite family-friendly event.

Messy Fest 2018 is on the calendar for 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15 at Queen Creek’s Horseshoe Park & Equestrian Center, and this year’s celebration of all things sloppy, messy and muddy promises more chaos, clutter and friendly competition than ever before. Think massive mud pits, multi-family tug-of-war, food fights, ice cream slip-and-slides, slime zones, colored forrest and much, much more, and it’s all for the benefit of a great cause: Childhelp, the national nonprofit known for its efforts to help combat child abuse.

An onsite rinse zone will give guests a chance to get clean in between events and activities, while food trucks and a special toddler mess-making zone will also be part of the festivities. The event’s motto is, “Life’s too short to play clean,” so score tickets now and take the whole family to Queen Creek this September for a day of disorder, destruction and controlled chaos. No cleanup necessary!
