Tempe Time Machine offers a chance to celebrate the unique and thriving town of Guadalupe, a colorful and creative destination for families and curious grownups to discover the community’s not-so-hidden secrets with crafts, stories, activities and live demonstrations. Programs start at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. for each event. The 2023 Time Machine program is inspired by the museum’s current exhibit “Guadalupe: Where Three Cultures Flourish.” The celebration is free and registration is not required. Groups of 10 or more are welcome.
