Arizona isn’t just where we live — it’s the heartbeat of Zonies Clothing. Every month, we highlight the events, people and places that make this state so unique, while spotlighting the community efforts your purchases help support. Think of this as your guide to what’s happening in Arizona, with a little desert perspective woven in.
This October brings cooler nights, brighter colors and a full lineup of fall festivals. From pumpkin patches to hot air balloons, from stair climbs in Bisbee to parades by the London Bridge, the month is a reminder of how diverse and vibrant our state can be. Here are some must-see events to mark on your calendar.
🎃 MacDonald’s Ranch Pumpkin Patch
North Scottsdale · Oct 4–31 (closed Tuesdays)
The Valley’s most iconic pumpkin patch offers wagon rides, petting zoos, games and a photo-worthy pumpkin selection. It’s the perfect spot to slow down and make a few fall memories.
Our clothing is made with the same idea: simple, reliable, and built to last. Just like traditions at the ranch, they’re staples that never go out of season.

🎨 Sedona Arts Festival (34th Annual)
Sedona · Oct 11–12
Set against red rock backdrops, this juried festival brings more than 100 artists, live music, and gourmet bites together in the heart of Sedona. The art is world-class, but it’s the setting that steals the show — golden cottonwoods, crimson cliffs and crisp autumn skies.
At Zonies Clothing, we believe in pairing artistry with sustainability. Our designs feature local photographers’ work, printed on organic, desert-ready apparel. Just like Sedona’s artists, we see each piece as more than fashion — it’s a story of Arizona.

🥾 Bisbee 1000: The Great Stair Climb (34th Annual)
Bisbee · Oct 18
This quirky and challenging 4.5-mile race takes runners and walkers up 1,034 stairs through Bisbee’s historic hills and neighborhoods. It’s equal parts athletic feat and community party.
At Zonies Clothing, we design clothing with movement in mind. From breathable tees to layering pieces, our apparel is built for Arizonans who climb, hike, and live outdoors.
👉 Ridge-nosed Rattlesnake Landscape | Men's Organic Classic T-Shirt - White
🎡 Taco Fest at Salt River Fields
Scottsdale · Oct 18–19
Forty taco makers, multiple stages, tequila tastings and endless flavor. Taco Fest is equal parts foodie heaven and fiesta, reminding us why Arizona’s food culture is second to none.
Our gear is designed for days like this: breathable tees that keep you cool under the sun and comfortable enough to carry you into the evening’s music sets.

🐅 Phoenix Zoo: Spooky Safari
Phoenix · Oct 22–24
For three nights only, the zoo becomes a twilight adventure: glowing trails, themed animal encounters and family trick-or-treat stations. It’s Halloween desert-style — fun, safe and packed with atmosphere.
When temperatures dip into the 60s at night, don’t forget to bring layers. Our hoodies and long sleeves are perfect for evenings spent exploring the desert’s wild side.
👉 Salt River Horses | Organic Baseball Hat - Black
🎈 Spooktacular Hot Air Balloon Festival
Scottsdale · Oct 24–26
Over 20 glowing balloons light up the night sky at Salt River Fields, doubling as trick-or-treat stops for families. Live music, food trucks and a fireworks finale round out one of the Valley’s most unique fall traditions.
Whether you’re gazing at balloons or watching fireworks, our sustainable outerwear is made for cooler desert evenings — keeping you comfortable while you take it all in.
👉 Cactus Wren Landscape | Women's Organic T-Shirt - Black
🚶 London Bridge Days Parade (54th Annual)
Lake Havasu City · Oct 25
Marching bands, floats and local pride line McCulloch Boulevard under the famous London Bridge. It’s small-town Arizona at its best — festive, communal and full of energy.
For us, it’s another reminder that Arizona isn’t defined by one landscape or one city — it’s a tapestry of places that together make our state unique.
👉 Grand Canyon | Men's Tri-Blend T-Shirt - White
🌸 Mesa Arts Center Día de los Muertos Festival
Mesa · Oct 25–26
This free, family-friendly celebration transforms downtown Mesa with ofrendas, mariachi music, folklórico dance and a lively mercado. It’s a vibrant way to honor tradition, remember loved ones and celebrate Arizona’s multicultural heartbeat.
Zonies Clothing’s mission is tied to community — and this festival is a reminder of how much our communities thrive when culture, memory and creativity come together.

💧 Charity Focus: Salt River Wild Horse Management Group
This month, we’re spotlighting the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group, a nonprofit working to protect and humanely manage the iconic wild horses of the Salt River in Tonto National Forest. Their efforts preserve a piece of Arizona heritage while ensuring safety for both horses and the public.
Recently, SRWHMG shared how community partners like All American Rentals stepped up to donate equipment that helped them widen their driveway and improve horse stalls at their headquarters — proof that local support fuels their mission as much as donations do.
With every purchase you make, 10% of our net profits go toward causes like this — keeping our wild spaces and wildlife thriving.
