Scottsdale events
Scottsdale is a desert paradise for those seeking interesting and unique events,
as the year-round great weather allows events to be held any season of the year.
The month of January kicks the year off in grand style with both the Barrett-Jackson
Collector Car Auction and the FBR Open, the highest-attended event on the PGA
Tour. Both of these mega-events flood the area with visitors, but Scottsdale
can handle the crowds. Those that prefer a different kind of “horsepower” will
love the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show, and “fashionistas” come from
all over to take in Scottsdale Fashion Week, an event that grows year after year.
Art festivals are a ritual in Scottsdale, and the local galleries are always
hosting exhibits and art walks, especially during the winter months. Those that
look at food as art will enjoy the Scottsdale Culinary Festival, the longest-running
culinary festival in the US. Mix these events with the wildly-popular MLB Spring
Training and you have a receipt for a great time to be had in beautiful Scottsdale.
If
you're looking for a quiet and get away from it all vacation, Scottsdale events
