Don’t mind us, we’ll just be basking in this gorgeous 80-degree weather all weekend and wondering how people can live anywhere else except Arizona. With the return of Scottsdale Tennis Week, as well as other playful events like the Poochfest and the Great American Barbeque and Beer Festival making their way to the Valley, we have a full weekend of fun ahead of us. Check out our roundup of the ten best things to do in Phoenix this weekend, March 29 through March 31.

 

Friday

 

Agave on the Rocks

This is a celebration of tequila, food and music at the Desert Botanical Garden – need we say more? Sip through various spirit creation while indulging in unique culinary creations prepared by some of the Valley’s best restaurants and caterers. Throughout the night, attendees can even sing along and dance to some of the lively entertainment that will be on deck. Admission tickets starts at $70; the event will go from 6 to 10 p.m. Must be 21 years of age or older to attend. For more information, click here.

Saturday

 

 

Uncorked AZ Wine Festival

With more than 100 wines, gourmet food trucks, live music, a bubbly bar and more, this is one of Arizona’s finest and most decadent wine festivals. General admission tickets are $55 and VIP tickets are $65. No one under the age of 21 is permitted on the premises of the event at any point. The festival will go from 6 to 10 p.m. For more information on this event, click here.

 

P!NK

As arguably one of the most underrated music artists within the entertainment industry, P!NK is a force to be reckoned with. Whether she’s dancing alongside her crew on stage or soaring across an area with her acrobatic tricks, she’s much more than just a singer – she’s an entertainer. This weekend, she’ll take the stage at Gila River Arena to sing some of her greatest hits, and maybe even a few that we can expect off her highly-anticipated next album. Ticket prices vary; the show begins at 8 p.m. For more information on this event, click here.

 

Poochfest

This weekend, Tempe’s Big Surf Waterpark is transforming into a festival oasis, as attendees can enjoy a fest fit for their beloved canine buddies. From doggie fashion shows to silent auctions, photo contents and even an art expo, this weekend will provide the perfect opportunity to show your pups some love – or at least some more love than you already show them – and treat them to a day full of fun at the Poochfest. Admission tickets are $10; the event will go from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information on this event, click here.

 

The Great American Barbeque and Beer Festival

What’s more American than barbecue and beer? This festival offers the opportunity to celebrate a decade of delicious, family-fun in Downtown Chandler. This year’s event is slated to feature country music on dual stages, with performances from Russell Dickerson, Dylan Scott, Jimmie Allen and Riley Green. Dance along to tunes from country superstars while indulging in barbeque and beer combinations. Admission tickets start at $15; the festival will go from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. For more information on this event, click here.

 

Phoenix Suns vs. Memphis Grizzlies

While the Phoenix Suns might not be contenders to make the NBA Playoffs this year, the team is certainly putting on a show for the final stretch of this season. Recently, they’ve beat the seemingly-undefeated Milwaukee Bucks and the likes of Lebron’s Los Angeles Lakers. Did we mention that they took down the reigning NBA Champion, the Golden State Warriors, at Orcale Arena? In short, their season may be soon ending, but that definitely doesn’t mean you shouldn’t catch a game and check out the spectacle performances that they’ve been putting on. Particularly this weekend, as they take on Mike Conley and the Memphis Grizzlies. Ticket prices vary; the game begins at 7 p.m. For more information on this event, click here.

 

Sunday

 

Scottsdale Tennis Week

Scottsdale Tennis Week might not be as beloved as Wimbledon yet, but with tasty culinary creations, social events and the opportunity to watch heated tennis matches while basking in Arizona’s glorious spring weather, we’d argue that our setup is actually much better. With different match-ups each day and fun activities that everyone can join in on – regardless of your level of tennis expertise – Scottsdale Tennis Week is the perfect excuse to get outside and channel your inner athlete! Ticket prices vary and the event runs all weekend. For more information on this event, click here.

 

Spring Tempe Festival of the Arts

This vibrant community event showcases more than 350 artists from around the country, all while lining the streets of Tempe’s famed Mill Avenue. Additionally, attendees can also enjoy live music between two different stages, a kids block which will include a K-12 Exhibition, a wine tasting event and so many other things that truly make this a festival that the entire family can enjoy. Admission is free. For more information on this event, click here.

 

 

Wanderlust 108

If you remember field days from your junior high or high school days, and you enjoyed any moment of them, then this event is most definitely for you. Especially for those who have a special appreciation for yoga and the art of mindfulness. This is the world’s only triathlon, combining a 5k run, yoga, and meditation, all at the convenience of your favorite local park. This day includes everything fitness, fun and on occasion, even spontaneous dance parties. Ticket prices range from $26 to $166. The event will take place at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For more information on this event, click here
