February 2026 Events & Things to Do in Peoria, AZ

Peoria is delivering one of the best February lineups I've seen in years, and if you're thinking about buying or selling here, this is exactly the kind of community vibe that makes the West Valley a smart move in 2026.

From Spring Training at the Peoria Sports Complex to family movie nights and the return of the Peoria Arts Festival, February is packed with reasons to fall in love with this city all over again. And if you're relocating here or selling to move up, I'll show you how Clearly Sold's $8,888 flat fee model helps you keep more money in your pocket while you enjoy everything Peoria has to offer.

I'm Andrew Texidor, and I help buyers and sellers navigate Peoria's market with modern tools, transparent pricing, and a focus on what actually matters: your time, your money, and your next chapter.

Spring Training Returns to Peoria Sports Complex

Spring Training is back, and Peoria Sports Complex is the place to be if you want to catch the Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres in action.

Here's what's on the schedule for February:

• February 20: San Diego Padres vs. Seattle Mariners, 1:10 p.m.

• February 21: San Francisco Giants vs. Seattle Mariners, 1:10 p.m.

• February 27: Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Seattle Mariners, 6:10 p.m.

You'll also see matchups with the Dodgers, Brewers, Angels, Guardians, White Sox, Rangers, and Cubs throughout the month.

Why this matters if you're buying in Peoria: Spring Training is a lifestyle perk that many buyers forget to factor in. If you love baseball, Peoria gives you front-row access to major league teams without the Phoenix traffic.

Why this matters if you're selling: Homes near the Peoria Sports Complex or within a quick drive of P83 Entertainment District tend to attract buyers who value walkability and entertainment access. If that's your neighborhood, we lean into that story in your listing.

FREE Movie in the Park: Disney's ELIO

Saturday, February 7 from 4:30–7:30 p.m. at Paseo Verde Park is your chance to bring the family out for a FREE screening of Disney's ELIO.

This isn't just a movie, it's a full event with:

• Pajama party theme

• Kids' dance party

• Face painting and balloon animals

• Character visits

• Specialty food trucks (food available for purchase)

Buyer insight: Events like this are a great way to scope out a neighborhood before you make an offer. Drive through Paseo Verde on a Saturday morning, check out the park activity, and see if the vibe matches your family's lifestyle.

Seller insight: If your home is near Paseo Verde or any of Peoria's active parks, mention it in your listing story. Families prioritize proximity to community events.

2nd Saturdays Music & Art Festival (Valentine's Weekend)

February 14 from 4:00–8:00 p.m., Peoria hosts the 2nd Saturdays Music & Art Festival, a perfect date-night option or family outing for Valentine's weekend.

There's also a Valentine's Party in the Park on Friday, February 13, so you've got two solid options to celebrate.

Why this matters: Peoria's investment in community events signals long-term stability and quality of life. When buyers ask me, "What's the culture like in Peoria?" this is part of the answer.

Peoria Arts Festival (February 28)

The Peoria Arts Festival returns on Saturday, February 28 from 9 a.m.–3 p.m. at Peoria City Hall Campus (8401 W. Monroe Street). Admission is free, and it's a great way to support local artists while exploring Old Town Peoria.

If you're new to the area or considering a move, this is one of those events that shows you the community investment Peoria makes in culture and small business.

Hiking at Lake Pleasant Regional Park

February is prime hiking season in Arizona, and Lake Pleasant Regional Park is less than 20 minutes from North Peoria.

Popular trails include:

• Pipeline Canyon Trail: 5.2 miles, moderate difficulty, desert views

• Desert Tortoise Trail: 1.5 miles, easy, family-friendly

• Yavapai Point Trail: short but steep, panoramic views of Lake Pleasant

Relocation tip: If you're moving from out of state and love outdoor recreation, Lake Pleasant access is a major selling point for North Peoria and the 85383 ZIP code. Many buyers don't realize how close they are to this kind of outdoor access until they visit.

P83 Entertainment District: Dining & Nightlife

The P83 Entertainment District continues to grow, and February is a great time to explore new restaurants and local spots.

Whether you're grabbing dinner before a Spring Training game or meeting friends for a weekend night out, P83 delivers a walkable, modern entertainment experience that's becoming a defining feature of Peoria's identity.

Buyer move: If you're considering a home near P83, walk the district on a Friday or Saturday night to see if the energy matches your lifestyle. Some buyers love it, others prefer quieter pockets of Peoria.

Seller move: If your home is within 10 minutes of P83, that's a marketable feature for buyers who prioritize dining, entertainment, and walkability.

Broadway at Arizona Broadway Theatre: 42nd Street

If you want a night out with dinner and a show, Arizona Broadway Theatre is performing 42nd Street on February 27 at 9:00 p.m.

It's a professional dinner theatre experience, and it's one of those Peoria gems that surprises people who think entertainment is only in Scottsdale or Downtown Phoenix.

How Clearly Sold's $8,888 Model Helps Peoria Sellers Keep More Money

If you're selling in Peoria and you want to maximize your net proceeds, here's what you need to know about Clearly Sold's flat fee structure:

You pay $8,888 to list your home. That includes professional photos, MLS listing, AI-driven marketing, and full-service support.

If Clearly Sold brings an unrepresented buyer through our own marketing, systems, and technology, you compensate an additional $8,888. That's the buyer-side fee, and it only applies if we find the buyer directly.

If a buyer comes with their own agent, you negotiate that agent's compensation separately.

Why does this matter in Peoria? Because in a market where the median sold price is around $599,000, saving on commission can mean an extra $10,000 to $20,000 in your pocket, depending on your situation.

Real-world scenario: Let's say you're selling a home in 85383 for $650,000. A traditional 5% to 6% commission structure could cost you $32,500 to $39,000. With Clearly Sold, you might pay $8,888 to list, and if we bring the buyer, an additional $8,888, for a total of $17,776. That's a potential savings of $15,000 to $20,000.
