What to know
The Stars & Stripes Festival is listed for May 29 to 31, 2027, Saturday to Monday, as an AAU event for girls 12 to 18 and boys 14 to 18 on the Arizona Athletic Grounds calendar. That listing names no court location, so we do not state where games are played.
The grounds' hotel page, checked 2026-10-29, says all teams attending Arizona Athletic Grounds are encouraged to book through EventConnect. It does not say booking is required, and we found no penalty. We rate this unclear, not required.
The dates cover Memorial Day weekend, Monday May 31, 2027, our calculation. A Saturday to Monday event needs 2 nights at the minimum.
Entry fee, game count, team count and refund terms are not on the host calendar, so we leave them blank. The grounds are at 6321 S Ellsworth Rd, Mesa, and the venue shown here is that address, not a location the listing confirms.
