Teri Murphy, community chairwoman of the Marana Main Street Festival, knows Marana’s downtown isn’t much to speak of — yet. But she sees a future in which it’s a bustling nerve center that captures the town’s spirit.
Murphy’s vision will come true, at least for a day, thanks to the festival she helps stage.
“What our goal is with Marana Main Street is to go out there right now with the kind of vision that the area could be what downtown Scottsdale is now in 10 years,” Murphy said.
“Someday we’ll remember there was nothing there. The atmosphere with the festival is what we think is going to happen in the future, giving people in the community something everyone can go and enjoy.”
