Tempe Blooms 1/26/26

January 27, 2026 /

Downtown Tempe was in full bloom yesterday. The downtown district had been transformed into a breathtaking floral wonderland, featuring 21 floral displays crafted by local floral designers.  There were also bands and live muralists!   Luna and I went down to check it out, and although it was beautiful, it was waaaaay too crowded!!  Poor Luna was lost among the thousands of feet!  (I really may have to end up getting her a dog stroller for events like this!

I’m glad we had a chance to see it once, but next year I’ll probably pass!  Usually there are fun food booths at these events and there was exactly ONE!  One Pretzel stand!  They wanted the people to take advantage of all the restaurants in Tempe.  I’m not sure people that are at an event like this want to wait for a table and sit down and eat!  I really would rather just walk and snack!  Oh well… The planning committee never asked my opinion!!  🙂
