Things to do in Yuma
Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park
Between 1876 and 1909, this penitentiary housed many of Arizona's most dangerous and notorious criminals. Famed in literature, movies (3:10 to Yuma) and television, the remains of the prison are now Arizona's most visited State Historic Parks.
Midnight at the Oasis
This annual celebration is one of a kind. Stroll down Memory Lane to an incredible nostalgic festival featuring the cars and music of the 1950's and 60's. Some of the sweetest classic cars from the West and Southwest span the four baseball fields at Desert Sun Stadium. The festival features more than 900 classic cars with over a million stories for you to enjoy. There's something for the entire family - concerts, dancing, good food, and great entertainment.
Colorado River State Historic Park
The park is the original home of the Yuma Quartermaster Depot, an Army supply depot that operated from 1865-1883. The site served as the main supply depot for all Army forts in Arizona Territory during the Indian Wars. In 1904, the abandoned depot became the headquarters for the Bureau of Reclamation’s Yuma Irrigation Project. The Yuma Project brought Colorado River water to the thirsty Yuma Valley through the construction of three major pieces of infrastructure: the Laguna Dam, the Yuma Main Canal, and the Colorado River siphon. When completed in 1912, the project was hailed as an engineering marvel that transformed the Yuma area into an agricultural powerhouse. This is our reception venue, so you'll get to see this if you attend the reception.
Arizona Historical Society Sanguinetti House Museum
This regional museum of the Arizona Historical Society is one of Yuma's oldest and most historical buildings. Once the home of E. F. Sanguinetti, the museum now exhibits artifacts, photography, and furnishings of Arizona's territorial period.
