official home of the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Insight Bowl and Festival of College Football
Twenty-five years ago a small group of community leaders in Tempe got together to figure out what they could do for the all the visiting fans who were attending the Fiesta Bowl game. Little did they know that they would create an event that is known throughout out the college football community, rated a top-10 event by USA Today and the "Place to Party" by the Sporting New, and is the largest community celebration on New Year's Eve in the metropolitan Phoenix area.
Well the Fiesta Bowl Block Party is still "Takin' it to the Streets" of downtown Tempe and just as the City of Tempe has grown and changed over the years, the Fiesta Bowl Block Party has grown and changed. The Block Party has expanded its presences in the downtown area of Tempe, moving the Main Stage back downtown and filling in the all the side streets and plazas with a variety of entertainment options.
There are some things you do not want to miss as you celebrate at the Block Party. The Dueling Pianos are back for the sixth year at Hayden Square and singing along has never been so much fun. The Dance Club has moved to a new location on the back patio of the Brickyard building. With video board, the hottest DJ's and the coolest light show this is the place to be for those that want to dance the night away.
New to this year's Block Party is Fiestaville, part of the “Festival of College Football.” It is where the fans of the visiting teams of both the Insight Bowl and the Fiesta Bowl join in the celebration of the southwest and football.
The party will end with a countdown to midnight, and as the sky will explodes with fireworks, you will say that it has been one SPECTACULAR night.
