Event details
Nestled in the heart of Arizona’s White Mountains, the Pinetop-Lakeside Summer Nights festival is a vibrant celebration that transforms the Mountain Meadow Recreation Complex into a kaleidoscope of music, cuisine, and community spirit. Scheduled for June 20 and 21, 2025, at 1101 S. Woodland Road in Lakeside, this event is a must-visit for anyone seeking a genuine small-town experience.
Formerly known as the White Mountains Balloon Festival, Pinetop-Lakeside Summer Nights has evolved to emphasize live music performances, an array of food and retail vendors, and a plethora of family-friendly activities. This shift is a response to the unpredictable weather conditions that often hindered balloon flights in previous years.
The festival is set against the stunning backdrop of the White Mountains, an area known for its natural beauty and rich outdoor recreational opportunities. Attendees can expect an evening filled with the sounds of local and regional musicians, the aromas of diverse culinary offerings, and the warmth of a close-knit community.
Whether you are a local resident or a visitor to the region, Pinetop-Lakeside Summer Nights offers something for everyone. It is an ideal event for families, couples, and solo travelers looking to immerse themselves in the unique charm of this mountain town. So mark your calendars for June 20 and 21, and prepare to experience the heart and soul of Pinetop-Lakeside in a festive and unforgettable way.
