Events
Throughout the year, St. Johns is home to a variety of events, which celebrate the history and culture of this southwestern Pioneer Town.
San Juan Fiesta
This two-three day event held each year in June celebrates the heritage of St. Johns. A barbeque, parade, talent show, and dance are just some of the events that bring residents and visitors together.
Grand Prix of St. Johns
The thunder of Formula One race cars comes to St. Johns each summer, and the airport is turned into a Grand Prix. Many visitors are surprised to learn that such a broad selection of powerful cars make their way from all across the country to St. Johns for this exciting event.

Pioneer Days
Colorful floats crafted by local organizations, families, and residents on this Saturday morning parade culminate the week-long celebration of the community spirit that founded this town. Sports tournaments, Junior Rodeo, Ice Cream Social, Chili Cook-Off, and Golf Tournament are just a few of the events that provide entertainment for every member of the family.
Arizona Junior Rodeo Association - Canceled
Held in June, this event includes all the ingredients that make for great rodeo: heart-pounding action, great food, and good friends that come together for this sanctioned event for competitors up to 18 years of age.
Horse Trials
A nationally sanctioned 2-day event, the trials include dressage, stadium jumping, and a cross-country course. Points won by competitors can apply to Olympic trials.
Apache County Fair
The County Fair comes to St. Johns each year at the end of summer. Rides, games, and contests are the bill of fare in this truly All-American event!
Christmas Light Parade
Sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, lighted floats travel down main street in the early part of December in this annual event. A Christmas tree decorating event is also held in conjunction with the parade.
