Breakfast with a Side of... Scottsdale History - Celebrating Scottsdale's 75th Anniversary
The Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce invites the community to Breakfast with a Side of... Scottsdale History, a morning program celebrating the City of Scottsdale's 75th anniversary. Scottsdale has a story worth knowing, and no one tells it better than Joan Fudala. In this engaging, image-rich presentation, Joan will take attendees on a journey through the people, places, and pivotal moments that shaped “The West's Most Western Town” from its incorporation in 1951 to the vibrant city it is today.
In 2026, the City of Scottsdale proudly marks 75 years since its incorporation, a milestone honoring the people, progress, and spirit that built this community. Attendees can expect highlights from 75 years of Scottsdale history, a fascinating collection of historic images, and a lively Q&A that makes this program as fun as it is educational. Whether you are a lifelong Scottsdale resident or a relative newcomer, you will leave with a deeper appreciation for the community you call home.
This event is your chance to celebrate that legacy alongside one of the city's foremost historians, in one of its most iconic cultural venues. The program is presented in conjunction with the City of Scottsdale and its Celebrate 75 Commission. Learn more at https://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/celebrate-75.
