What is Area Code Day?

Area Code Day is celebrated in communities around the country, as cities embrace their local flare and uniqueness on the calendar date that corresponds with their local area code.

Area Code Day generally involves local businesses offering discounts, special promotions, concerts and cultural events that highlight local food and art. The celebrations typically originate between residents and businesses, with the support of local government and non-profits.

Why 602?

Established by AT&T in 1947 as Arizona's original area code, 602 now specifically serves Phoenix after splits in 1995 and 1999 created additional codes (480, 520, 623, 928) to accommodate population growth. Despite these changes, Phoenix proudly remains the home of 602.
