The weather is heating up, but Tempe Marketplace and Desert Ridge Marketplace will keep things cool in June and July. Summer Splash will allow kids to get up close and personal with their favorite princess or superhero, including old favorites like Ariel and Spiderman and new classics like Moana and Elsa. Kids of all ages will enjoy free entertainment, music, dancing, prizes, and of course an opportunity to cool down at the splash pad. Families will also have the chance to snap a free downloadable photo with the featured weekly character.
