No First Friday in July 🇺🇸 We will not be hosting a First Friday event in July, as it falls on Independence Day, Friday, July 4th. This decision was made out of respect for the holiday and the well-being of our community. It allows our vendors, staff, and guests to spend time with loved ones and take part in local Fourth of July celebrations, including fireworks! Most importantly, our City’s first responders will be operating at full capacity that evening, ensuring the safety of residents and visitors during one of the busiest nights of the year. We do not want to add unnecessary strain to our police, fire, and emergency teams who are already committed to keeping our community safe. Additionally, we have historically had to cancel our July event due to heat advisory warnings, so we are preemptively hoping that everyone can stay cool. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to welcoming you back for First Friday on August 1st for another fun and exciting community event!

What is a “Contingency Reserve?" That’s a portion of the budget set aside for unexpected needs. (Similar to having a personal savings account for emergencies!) In FY26 Globe is building a $3M contingency fund policy, a best practice solution for long-term stability. #CityCents #GlobeAZ #BudgetBasics

o Myth: “The City raised property taxes.” o Fact: Property taxes haven’t gone up in years! In fact, this year Globe kept the property tax levy flat and REDUCED the tax rate from 1.2221 per $100,000 in assessed value to 1.1892! The only increase in the levy came from new construction happening in Globe! (NOT higher property tax bills.) #CityCents #GlobeAZ #BudgetMythBusters #TaxDropLikeItsHot #EconomicWin
