Best Time of Year for an East Valley Company Picnic

The Seasons That Make East Valley Picnics Unforgettable

☀️ Spring (January – March) is prime season. Arizona’s best weather lines up with California’s slow season, making this the perfect window for East Valley company picnics. Cool desert air, clear skies, and mild temps create the backdrop — and the city buzzes with Cactus League Spring Training. With 10 stadiums and 15 MLB teams in town, baseball culture takes over, and many companies weave that energy into their picnics with themed games, sports attractions, and ballpark-inspired food.

💸 Seasonal Deal: From January through March, we offer special discounts on Arizona company picnics in the East Valley, giving you more bang for your buck during peak season.

🍂 Fall (September – November) is the second sweet spot. When the heat breaks, the East Valley shifts into another great picnic window. This is when we roll out fall food favorites like chili bars, roasted corn, funnel cakes, and BBQ — paired with entertainment like pumpkin-style inflatables, harvest-themed field games, and seasonal décor that feels right at home outdoors.
​
Both seasons deliver the perfect mix of weather, food, and entertainment — and our team knows exactly how to design events that fit the time of year.
