Listeners, if you are looking for an unforgettable week in Phoenix Arizona, you're in luck. Today and for the rest of this week, the Valley of the Sun is buzzing with exciting events perfect for families, friends, and solo adventurers alike.

The Arizona State Fair is illuminating September nights all month long with a full spectrum of fun. Gates open at 5 pm each night and the fairgrounds transform with the Skyworxs drone show—a dazzling spectacle of 300 illuminated drones lighting up the night sky. If you want a little indoor magic, step into the cooled Coliseum North and South Halls for Arizona crafts, culture, and culinary delights. The Shanghai Circus Acrobats will leave you holding your breath with gravity-defying stunts, performing three shows nightly. You can also catch the hilarious Turkey Stampede, where turkeys race after a remote-controlled monster truck. At the Fair Grandstand, the wild Figure 8 Races featuring Racing in Reverse promise lots of high-octane excitement. If you are into music, The Backyard Stage has themed concerts, and Sunday offers Cassie B’s 90’s Remix, letting you relive your favorite pop, hip-hop, and grunge era hits as reported by the Arizona State Fair website.

Those seeking a bit of magic can head downtown to the Renaissance Phoenix Hotel for the Up-Close Illusion Show, featuring magicians who have performed on America’s Got Talent and Fool Us. It’s an interactive, laugh-filled, and mind-bending 90-minute adventure with magicians inches away from the audience, perfect for a memorable date night or group activity, as recommended by Carnival of Illusion.

If art and culture are your style, Phoenix Art Museum offers daily exhibits like the Object of the Month series, where you can learn about historic artifacts such as the United States Naval Reserve WAVES Summer Uniform. On Friday evening, venture into the Roosevelt Row Arts District for First Friday, a high-energy monthly art walk, brimming with local galleries, open studios, street performers, live music, and food trucks.

Looking ahead to the weekend, theater lovers can enjoy the production of Grace & Glorie at the Black Theatre Troupe’s Helen K. Mason Performing Arts Center on Saturday evening, an inspiring and heartfelt story that critics have praised for its powerful performances and moving storyline according to the Downtown Phoenix calendar.

Resort pool parties are still going strong. Expect lively music, food, and drinks at major hotels such as the Arizona Biltmore, Mountain Shadows, and Royal Palms Resort, all offering special Labor Day weekend events through Sunday night, based on the Visit Phoenix events calendar.

To wrap up your week, check out more live music across the city, with everything from tribute shows to local bands playing at venues big and small. With perfect warm evenings, outdoor patios, and a jam-packed cultural calendar, Phoenix is primed for excitement this week.
