Quartzite day trip - best day?

We're in Surprise AZ and planning a day trip to Quartzite next week. Is there some particular day... we're thinking Monday, that would give us the best chance to "see it all" or a portion?

Thx

  • Tuesday is always best for a big attraction. MLK is not recognized in AZ
  • Thx for info. WX looks good either Mon or Tue. I'll wait and see.
  • I would think that the weekdays would be less crowded than weekends. We are arriving on the 18th to the 21st(weekdays). Now that I know Monday is a holiday, we probably won't go to the big tent until Tuesday.
  • So disappointed the last trip we took to Quartzite. We had been there about 15 years ago and enjoyed browsing all the flea market booths filled with private sellers. Our last trip we were dismayed to find them virtually all gone and replaced with commercial vendors who comprised an endless row of dollar store experiences.
  • Gottahaveit
    we are heading down on 21st

    we are right behind St Mary HS
    have a Cardinal in front yard.

    maybe say hello
  • IMHO any day after Sunday will be OK..the later in the week the better it is in the tent. A-Z is good anytime. We have been for yrs. and avoid the tent the first weekend due to the crowds and everything will still be there later on ;) We will not even arrive before the 19th
  • I do think many day-trippers from the Phoenix area and other places come on the weekend so Monday would be a 'little less' traffic.
  • For sure, if you are driving from Surprise, you will not see it all. It doesn't matter what day you choose because during the rv show there are thousands of people there
