Spring Fling 2019

AZPM spent the day in the Kids’ Zone at the 45th Annual Spring Fling on April 14. Staff and volunteers shared activities and prizes with guests and Clifford the Big Red Dog stopped by to say hello and had a dance-off with Wilbur Wildcat.

Spring Fling attracts an estimated 32,000 guests annually. There are 40+ rides, nearly two-dozen food booths, and a variety of activities. The student-led and student focused event got its start in 1974 and continues to be one of the largest, most successful events of its kind in the U.S.
