A weekend with more possibilities
A different weekend can start with a live trio after dinner, a comedy show, art in a desert garden, a lantern reflected on the water, or a meal from a local market. These twelve November 6–8 highlights offer several ways for adults to make a plan across the Phoenix Valley.
Adults’ Weekend describes the intended reader, not a blanket age restriction. The Nash late-night show is 21+ with valid ID; alcohol tastings are 21+. Several festivals welcome families too. Ticketed performances, tasting packages and purchases have separate costs.
Art, music, theatre, food and community gatherings remain useful discovery categories after this weekend. The dated selections stay in Previously discovered as a record of what SquareMile brought together, while their original organizers remain the source for future dates and booking.
