Gilbert Days history

Full story: Arizona Republic

But folks decided the Arizona heat was too hot to hold an outside festival on May 5. * In 1959, the celebration was moved to November, renamed Gilbert Day and became a celebration of that year's paving of the side streets downtown as well as a salute to Gilbert's Western heritage.
