Get ready to shake up your Saturday and join us for one of Chandler’s most spirited events of the year—the Kilt Classic Pub Crawl!

The festivities start at New Square and will take you on a lively journey through five of Chandler’s best pubs. Each stop offers more than just a cold drink. Expect live bagpipes filling the streets with their unmistakable sound, setting a lively tone, and adding a touch of Celtic flair.

History of Chandler Fire Dept

Fire protection for the Town of Chandler began in 1917 when the Chamber of Commerce organized a fire company consisting of 18 volunteers. At that time, the town had approximately 2,000 residents.  The fire company was led by Town Marshal Joe Sparks who was also the town’s only law enforcement officer. The Chamber of Commerce equipped the volunteer company with six hundred feet of hose, several nozzles, and two hose carts.
