Phoenix and Mesa
If you live in the Valley, you’re in for a whole lot of excellent events in July! Is there anything more reminiscent of summertime than a carnival? Bookmans Phoenix is bringing the carnival fun to you with their Carnival Extravaganza July 5th! Bookmans Mesa knows how much fun Legos are, so they are having a whole event dedicated to everyone’s Love of Legos on July 11th! Science is not only important, it’s also fun! Let Phoenix’s Mad Science Experiments event show you just how awesome science can be on July 12th!
Superheroes love to show kids how they can be super too, and some of our favorite superheroes are heading to our Phoenix store July 19th for Avengers Assemble! Local artist Bill Wylie will also be on hand to hand draw some superhero caricatures for kids to treasure forever! What’s better than a theatrical production of your favorite classical stories? A puppet theater version of them! Join Great Arizona Puppet Theater for their all-puppet rendition of Jack and the Beanstalk at both our Mesa and Phoenix stores! Kids won’t want to miss Mesa’s Enchantment Under the Sea adventure and neither will you – because we’ve got a real-life mermaid heading our way!
All Bookmans Mesa and Phoenix events start at 1 PM, so come and join us and beat the summer heat!
