Then, the party rages on at Bottled Blonde, Riot House, Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row and new kid on the block, The Hot Chick.
ACTIVITIES: PLAYING THE FIELD

The games are the main event, but there’s plenty more action just a stone’s throw away from the stadiums.

Lace up your sneakers for the 5K or 10K Scottsdale Giant Race on Feb. 29, ending at Scottsdale Stadium. The weather is also prime for teeing up an afternoon of golf at one of the City’s 51 golf courses or at Topgolf Scottsdale, neighboring Salt River Fields.
Roughly 1,500 steps from Scottsdale Stadium, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art offers cutting-edge exhibits such as “Design Transfigured/Waste Reimagined,” an exhibition of international designers that place sustainability and environmental concerns at the center of their art (running Feb. 1 – May 17). Blocks away, question the concept of reality through sensory installations that rewrite the laws that govern the physical world with “Elsewhere,” just opened in October at Wonderspaces. The breakthrough, Instagram-worthy art concept debuted in Scottsdale last spring.


Feel like a local at Scottsdale ArtWalk, a Thursday night tradition in Old Town where dozens of the area’s galleries keep their doors open from 7-9 p.m. for guests to browse works of every style and medium. The March 5 Gold Palette special event, Native Spirit ArtWalk, gives a glimpse into the city’s roots with live music and traditional Native American fare – all free and open to the public!
