Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

On June 16th, at WestWorld, The Michelob Ultra Scottsdale Fahrenheit Festival: Presented by Talking Stick Resort will exhibit many “hot” events and attractions, but the Arizona Ales and Cocktails Festival, located inside the air-conditioned Tony Nelssen Equestrian Center, is a special twist for attendees to cool off.

Let your taste buds thank you while sipping on drinks exclusively from OHSO Brewery and Distillery, Huss Brewing Co., The Grand Canyon Brewing Company, and North Mountain Brewing.

Not a beer drinker? Don’t fret. There will be a wide variety of perfectly crafted summer cocktails from some of the best mixologist around the Valley.

Festival goers can also register for Scottsdale Beat the Heat: The Hottest Race on Earth and then cool-off with the best libations in town.

Too young to join in on all the fun at the Arizona Ales and Cocktails Festival? There’s still plenty of attractions for all ages to enjoy at the event.

Attendees can break a sweat in the El Hefe Jalapeno Eating Contest, presented by Udder Delights, or by throwing “heat” in the fast pitch baseball contest. Also, enjoy fire performances by Burden Blossom, watch local artist, Ashley Macias, perform live interactive art pieces with charcoal, check out collector hot rods on display, or witness things heat up all day long in the arm wrestling contest with the World’s Greatest Arm Wrestler, Travis Bagent.

In addition to the Arizona Ales and Cocktail Festival, cool off with unlimited rides down the world’s tallest inflatable water slide, or enjoy a sweet treat from the Udder Delights ice cream truck.
