I'm Andrew Texidor, Founder of Rewarding Heroes and Clearly Sold, brokered by HomeSmart. I work with families, retirees, and public servants who want to experience the best of Buckeye living: whether that means finding the right home near Skyline Regional Park or listing your current property with a strategy that actually works.

Let's walk through the top events and activities happening this February.

Buckeye Air Fair (February 13-15, 2026)

This is the marquee event of the month, and if you've never been, it's worth clearing your calendar.

The Buckeye Air Fair runs three days at 3000 S. Palo Verde Rd., featuring vintage aircraft, military demonstrations, and aviation exhibitions that pull crowds from across the Valley. Here's the schedule:

• Friday, February 13: 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

• Saturday, February 14: 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.

• Sunday, February 15: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Saturday also includes the AOPA Fly-In, which brings pilot education sessions, an exhibit hall, aircraft displays, and a dedicated Kids Zone for younger aviation enthusiasts.

What to expect: Action-packed flight demonstrations, up-close looks at restored warbirds, and family-friendly zones where kids can learn about aviation careers and engineering. Bring sunscreen, comfortable shoes, and a hat: February temps are comfortable, but the sun is still strong midday.

Pro tip: Arrive early on Saturday if you want prime viewing spots for the aerobatic performances. Parking fills up quickly after 10 a.m.

Skyline Regional Park: The Perfect February Hike

Buckeye's outdoor crown jewel is Skyline Regional Park, and February is arguably the best month to explore it. Temperatures sit in the mid-60s to low-70s, wildflowers are starting to bloom, and the trails are far less crowded than they'll be in March.

Popular trails include:

• Ford Canyon Trail: A moderate 4.3-mile loop with elevation changes and rewarding desert views.

• Circumference Trail: A longer option for hikers who want mileage and solitude.

• Bajada Nature Trail: A shorter, easier option perfect for families with younger kids.

Skyline also offers disc golf, ramadas for group picnics, and horseback riding trails if you want to experience the park in a different way.

Buyer insight: Homes near Skyline Regional Park command a premium in Buckeye's market, especially in newer developments that offer quick access to trailheads. If outdoor recreation is a priority for your family, make sure your agent knows to filter for proximity to the park.

Downtown Buckeye Dining: Where Locals Eat

Buckeye's downtown area has quietly grown into a solid dining destination, and February is a great time to support local spots before the spring rush.

A few standouts:

• Kyote Kountry Store & BBQ: Classic Arizona BBQ with a casual vibe and outdoor seating.

• El Paisano Restaurant: Authentic Mexican food with generous portions and a loyal following.

• Main Street Café: Breakfast and lunch spot with hometown charm and strong coffee.

These aren't chain restaurants: they're locally owned, and they're the kind of places where you start recognizing faces after a few visits.

Relocation note: If you're moving to Buckeye from out of state, one of the best ways to feel connected quickly is to find your neighborhood spots early. I always recommend clients explore downtown Buckeye within their first two weeks.

Buckeye Memory Café (February 10)

The Buckeye Memory Café runs from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on February 10 and provides a welcoming space for individuals living with memory loss and their caregivers.

This monthly gathering offers socialization, activities, and respite in a judgment-free environment. If you or a loved one is navigating dementia or Alzheimer's, this is a valuable community resource.

Why this matters: Buckeye's population includes a growing number of active adults and retirees, many of whom are drawn here for the quality of life and lower cost of living. Events like the Memory Café reflect the city's commitment to supporting all stages of life.

HOME & HEALTH SHOW (February 28)

On Saturday, February 28 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Buckeye HOME & HEALTH SHOW takes over 26275 W. Morrow Dr. with vendors covering home improvement, landscaping, health and wellness, travel, and recreation.

Admission and parking are free, and the event includes live music performances throughout the morning.

What to look for: If you're a homeowner planning upgrades this spring, this is a great opportunity to meet local contractors, landscapers, and service providers. Many vendors offer show-only discounts, so bring business cards and take notes.

Seller insight: If you're planning to list your Buckeye home in the next 90 days, strategic upgrades can increase buyer interest and final sale price. Small investments: like fresh landscaping, neutral paint, or updated light fixtures: often deliver outsized returns. This show can help you source the right local pros.

Concert in the Park (February 28)

Wrapping up the month, Buckeye hosts a Concert in the Park on February 28 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

These free concerts are a staple of Buckeye's community calendar, and they're a perfect way to spend a Friday evening with neighbors, lawn chairs, and live music.

Bring blankets, snacks, and your kids: it's all-ages, casual, and genuinely fun.

Why February is a Strategic Month for Buckeye Buyers and Sellers

February is more than just a great month for events: it's also a smart time to make real estate moves in Buckeye.

For buyers: Inventory starts building in late winter, so you'll have more options than you did in January. Rates are stabilizing, and sellers are more motivated to negotiate before the spring surge begins.

For sellers: Listing in February positions you ahead of the spring competition. Homes that hit the market now benefit from motivated buyers who don't want to wait until March or April when inventory floods the MLS.

Clearly Sold's $8,888 listing model is designed for sellers who want full-service support without the traditional commission structure. Here's how it works:

• $8,888 to list your home: This covers professional photography, AI-enhanced marketing, MLS exposure, showing coordination, and negotiation support.

• $8,888 buyer-side compensation: This applies only if Clearly Sold brings an unrepresented buyer through our own systems, marketing, and technology. If a buyer works with their own agent, their agent's compensation is negotiated separately.

This transparent structure saves Buckeye sellers thousands compared to traditional models, and it's built for today's market: not the old one.
