Our family had the opportunity to attend the Fan Fest celebration in Phoenix for the Men’s NCAA Final Four basketball tournament. At this event we celebrated men’s basketball and all the teams that made it to the NCAA tournament. We started the event with the Final Four Dribble from Heritage Square to the Phoenix Convention Center. Before the Dribble began, there were food trucks, music, and other fun activities to participate in by the starting line. The Dribble was for children 18 and younger, and we all received T-shirts and basketballs. In groups, kids and guardians went through the 1-mile course that concluded at Men’s Final Four Fan Fest.

Once you got inside of the building there was a lot to do. There were displays of past Final Fours, athletes playing basketball games, celebrity and athlete appearances, games for visitors and shopping for NCAA Final Four gear. Our favorite was the giant human claw machine that our whole family participated in. If you are ever in a city that hosts the Final Four, we encourage you to attend as it was a lot of fun!
