Antiquing &
Shopping in Historic Glendale
Historic Downtown Glendale has been named by USA Today & Sunset
Magazine as one of the country's ten best places for antique
shopping but savvy shoppers also find a medley of imports,
jewelry, art, crafts, and collectables.
Another popular attraction is Cerreta Candy Company. Just before
Valentine's Day, Cerreta sponsors the annual three-day Chocolate
Affaire, where the delectable, sweet stuff is on display in many
forms, including Arizona's largest chocolate heart, ranging
upward of 300 pounds.
A casual lunch will be enjoyed at the Spicery Tea House.
