Over the years the town has seen explosive real estate growth, particularly in the past 25 years.  However, you might be wondering why so many people are moving here.  Could it be to admire the blooming of grand tulips and daffodils in the spring?  Or is it because the city doesn't have smog?  The truth is the city prides itself on both.  They also have unusually pure water.  That's made possible by wells.  But another reason for the population increase is the area's fertile soil, which is perfect for farming.  The Chino Valley Irrigation District, which supports 2500 acres of land, helps area farmers produce everything from squash to beans.  During the growing season, which is roughly May to October, you can sample some of their fresh crops at the farmers market.  As the weather turns warmer during the summer—it rarely gets above 90 degrees or below 40 degrees—you can take advantage of the many outdoor activities and events in Chino Valley Arizona.

In mid May, Chino Valley's SpringFest takes place.  The festival brings together residents and visitors to celebrate Chino Valley's unique history, with close to 3,000 people attending the three-year-old event each year.  It's one you shouldn't miss.  At the event, you'll find people playing horse shoes and live music.  In addition, you'll find booths selling arts and crafts and people participating in car shows and auctions.  Then in July, the night sky over Chino Valley lights up with an impressive display of fireworks.  Located at Old Home Manor, the 4th of July Celebration, which brings out the entire community, has been tagged as one of the biggest shows in Northern Arizona.  Next, The First Territorial Capital Celebration takes place on Labor Day.  The event includes a parade, booths selling arts and crafts and a rodeo.  There's even a pancake breakfast before the parade begins.  In between Chino Valley's celebrations, you'll want to stay cool.  Luckily, The Community Center Aquatic Facility, which has an outdoor pool, is nearby.  And in the coming years, the town will have another aquatic facility, called the Community Center Park, where you can play basketball, soccer and watch other live action events.  Then as the weather gets colder and the leaves start falling, Chino Valley residents start gearing up for the upcoming holidays.

FallFest begins a few days before Halloween and features a haunted house called Chino Valley Haunt at the Old Home Manor. In its early days, the haunted house consisted of just one room. But today it's grown into a 3,700 foot facility.  In addition, the ten-year-old Trick-or-Treat Tailgate, which is also located at the Old Home Manor, gives kids the opportunity to fill their bags full of candy in a safe environment on Halloween.  As Thanksgiving and Christmas approach, you'll see an array of colored lights.  That, coupled with Chino Valley's warm, small-town spirit, is sure to carry you through the rest of the year and make you feel right at home.
