What Exactly Is 602 Day?
602 Day is a fantastic initiative celebrating all things Phoenix, observed annually on June 2nd (6/02). The “602” famously represents the original area code that covered Phoenix and much of Arizona for decades, becoming a recognizable symbol of our city.
Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego says, “602 Day is a celebration of everything Phoenix – our local businesses, diverse neighborhoods, and the creative spirit that drives our City forward… It’s a chance for residents to show their hometown pride, discover new local experiences, and sample some great cuisine. I’m proud to see our community come together for a day that’s uniquely and proudly Phoenix.”
More than just a number, 602 Day is a chance for everyone: residents, local businesses, and community organizations to showcase their Phoenix pride. It’s a day to:
- Celebrate our unique culture, from the arts scene to our diverse culinary landscape.
- Support local by highlighting the incredible businesses that make Phoenix thrive.
- Connect with community by sharing stories and experiences about what makes the 602 a special place to live, work, and play.
- Honor our history by recognizing the journey of our city and the people who’ve shaped it.
