The future of Arizona family angling will be on display at the 22nd annual “Just for Kids Fishing Festival” from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 16 at Tempe Kiwanis Park.

The event typically draws more than 400 youth anglers. Anglers United, in partnership with the Arizona Game and Fish Department, will conduct this free event that features fishing from 7 a.m. to noon.
