Scottsdale’s McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park will host a golden jubilee in celebration of the park’s 50th birthday from 3 to 8:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 4.

Attendance is free, though train and carousel rides will be $3, according to a press release.

The event will also have:

•Bounce houses.

•Face painting and balloon artists.

•Tasty eats from local food trucks (including beer and wine).

•Live music from four local bands.
