"Tragic Flood, Vibrant Rainbows: Phoenix News Roundup"
Good morning, Phoenix! This is Morgan Riley, and you're listening to your three-minute local news update. Here's the word on the streets of Phoenix.
It was a somber weekend in the Valley as we learned of a tragic incident. A nine-year-old boy was found deceased after being swept away by floodwaters in the west valley following Saturday's unexpected storm. Emergency responders and local volunteers worked tirelessly to locate him, but sadly, he did not survive. This serves as a stark reminder of the power of nature and the importance of staying cautious around flood-prone areas, especially during the unpredictable spring season.
On a lighter note, the annual Rainbows Festival lit up Heritage Square Park this weekend, celebrating the diversity and vibrancy of Phoenix's LGBTQ+ community. Drawing over 25,000 attendees, the two-day festival featured more than 150 exhibitors and an array of live entertainment across multiple stages. Families, friends, and allies gathered under clear skies, making it one of the largest events of its kind in the state. If you missed it, mark your calendars for next year—this event is a cornerstone of Phoenix’s inclusive spirit.
Looking ahead, the Phoenix Film Festival continues this week at the Harkins Scottsdale 101 theater. A highlight for film enthusiasts, the festival showcases independent films and features Q&A sessions with filmmakers. Also on the horizon: Buds-A-Palooza, a community festival in downtown Phoenix, kicks off Friday evening. Fans can enjoy live music, comedy, and cannabis culture in what promises to be a uniquely Phoenix experience.
Now, let’s talk weather. After a stormy Saturday, the Valley will see sunny skies today with a high of 82 degrees and a low tonight around 58. The rest of the week looks much the same, with mild temperatures perfect for outdoor activities. Take advantage—springtime doesn’t last long here in the Valley of the Sun.
To close today’s update, let me share a story about community strength. Last Friday, Phoenix hosted the Guardian Games, an annual event benefiting Special Olympics Arizona. Local athletes teamed up with law enforcement for friendly competitions, proving yet again that Phoenix is a place where big hearts and teamwork shine brightest. To everyone who participated, you’ve shown us the true definition of joy and resilience.
