October Community Events: Phoenix/Scottsdale

Carrie Hall, CPT

October events are here! Part of our mission at Fit Family Physical Therapy is to empower our patients of all ages to lead a full and healthy life! We believe one way to do do this is to embrace our beautiful fall weather by getting outside and experiencing new events in the community (or both at the same time)!

The leaves may not be changing color here in Phoenix, but we are ready for the 75-degree weather and ALL the fall activities. We gathered a list of some fun fall events in October and November to take advantage of on your own or with friends and family. Check out our lists below and find your next favorite fall event!
