The annual Kierland POP celebration begins at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in the evening on Friday, Nov. 15, with a ticketed Kierland POP Charity Night event that’s open to the public. Held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and hosted in partnership with the Arizona Wine Growers Association, the evening begins with an “Academy Awards” celebration of Arizona wines, recognizing winners from azcentral’s 2019 Arizona Wine Competition. Guests will have an opportunity to interact directly with the winemakers and learn firsthand about the family traditions and stories behind the wines that are poured at the event. Attendees can also expect to encounter lively art experiences; culinary samples from local chefs; and live, vibrant music and entertainment. Those 21 and older can purchase tickets at kierlandpop.com for $55 each. All proceeds from the evening will benefit SAACA’s Veterans Art Therapy Program.
