Two Maricopa events this week: family game day and Dolly Day showings

Plan two indoor Maricopa events this week: free Multigenerational Game Day Sept. 23 and two Dolly Day movie showings at the library Sept. 25.

By OurMaricopa Staff

Two indoor City events give Maricopa residents an easy midweek plan: an afternoon built around board games and friendly competition, followed two days later by a pair of movie showings at the library.

The first event is designed to bring generations together. The second leans into a pink, music-and-movie theme. Here are the practical details currently posted by the City.

Wednesday: Multigenerational Game Day

Seniors at the Maricopa Community Center are inviting youth and families to join them for Multigenerational Game Day on Wednesday, Sept. 23, from 2 to 4 p.m.

The event will be held at the Maricopa Community Center, 41614 W. Smith-Enke Road, Suite 100. The City event page lists the cost as free and provides a registration link. It does not show the number of spaces remaining, so registration availability should be checked on the live page rather than assumed.

The City's description promises an afternoon of games, laughter and friendly competition. It does not list a required skill level or say that attendees need to bring a game. For questions, the event page gives 520-233-2400, option 3.

The Community Center is open weekdays and focuses on social, educational and cultural programs for Maricopa's senior and veteran communities. Game Day broadens that mix by inviting children, teens, adults and older residents into the same room.

Friday: two Dolly Day movie showings

On Friday, Sept. 25, the Maricopa Library and Cultural Center will show the movie 9 to 5 twice as part of Dolly Day. The first showing runs 10 a.m. to noon and the second 2 to 4 p.m.

Both are at the Maricopa Library and Cultural Center, 18160 N. Maya Angelou Drive. The City's Dolly Day listing says attendees may bring their own pillows, blankets and snacks.

The page does not list an admission price, registration requirement, capacity, age guidance or outside-food restrictions beyond the invitation to bring snacks. Anyone who needs one of those details should call the event contact, Emerie Guzman at 520-568-2926, before heading over. The City page remains the source for any last-minute update.

Plan the week

Both events are indoors, but the City has not posted parking or arrival-time instructions on the individual pages. Leave enough time to find the correct room and check in if needed. Families can save the dates in OurMaricopa's community calendar and use the community and public-services directory for the library, Community Center and other local resources.

More activities may be added or changed during the week. The City's full event calendar is the place to verify current details, while OurMaricopa's parks and recreation directory can help with other local options.

Wednesday's event has confirmed free admission and a registration link. Friday's event has confirmed times, venue and bring-your-own comfort items, but no posted price or RSVP detail. That difference is worth checking before making plans.
