Weekend Fun

Posted on 15. Jul, 2010 by Tony Arranaga in News

The Heard Museum turns Third Friday into a night of pampering, art exhibits on Grand Avenue, and a monthly dance party at Civic Space Park (with Otter Pops!) – these are just some of the events on my radar in this edition of Weekend Fun along the light rail in Phoenix.

Friday, July 16th

Native + You at the Heard Museum is a monthly Third Friday event in downtown Phoenix. This month, the museum will feature music by BPM Cadenza (who uses a turntable and a cello!), a free wine tasting and massages from Aji Spa (Sheraton Wild Horse Pass).  The free event goes from 5:30p to 9p.  The Heard is located directly across the street from the Encanto light rail station. Event information can be found on the Heard website here.

UPDATE: The tasting is $6 for four wines

Also on Friday:

Another Pierce Street block party (12th Street Station)

An art auction to benefit a group helping migrant farm workers in Arizona (Central Station)

A grand opening of an art exhibit at The Trunk Space on Grand Avenue (Central Station)

Saturday:

Hello, Saturday? Are you there?  (Readers, please help me fill in the blanks with fun events on this night!)

UPDATE 2:

Cool off at the Phoenix Zoo on Saturday morning with SNOW (Priest Station, transfer to bus)

Sunday:

The monthly dance party in the park called Civic Space Jam is back for another month of good music and family fun set to the backdrop of Civic Space Park and the downtown skyline. The event goes from 5p to 10 pm and features DJs Tranzo, Salchi Von Papi (aka:Pablo Luna), and PoneDiscos and Nico. The event is free and open to the public. Civic Space Park is located across the street from Central Station. More information can be found on the Facebook event page here.

Also on Sunday night:

The hip and cool late night dance party Retro Hi-Fi at SideBar (McDowell Station)
