Phoenix is bursting with excitement this week and through the Fourth of July weekend, making it the perfect time to get out and explore the city’s vibrant event scene.

Kicking off tonight, Maya in Scottsdale gets things started with its Night Swim party, featuring international house music DJ San Pacho poolside. Early birds can grab tickets for just under thirty dollars, and doors open at 9 p.m. Over at the W Scottsdale Hotel, the Red White and Bubbly festival takes over the WET Deck daily through Sunday. Expect DJs, drinks, and dancing—general admission is fifty dollars and table packages are available for groups looking to take it up a notch, according to Phoenix New Times.

On the Fourth itself, Caesars Republic Scottsdale Hotel transforms Cleopatra’s Beach Club into a Vegas-style pool party with live DJs and craft cocktails from noon to 6 p.m. General admission starts around twenty-four dollars, and VIP upgrades are available. For something iconic, the Phoenix 4th of July West Coast Swing Convention at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn lets both beginners and seasoned dancers join workshops, competitions, and social events all weekend. The highlight is Friday’s fireworks display, which you can watch right from the hotel patio. The festival continues with leveled workshops, a Masters Meet & Greet on Friday, and an All-Star Pool Party Saturday afternoon.

If you’re after a classic Independence Day celebration, Phoenix has plenty of family-friendly options. The city’s Light Up the Sky event runs tonight from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., featuring festivities in local parks. Check the Phoenix city calendar for the closest park and more details.

Younger listeners and families can head to the Children’s Museum of Phoenix, where the Foam Zone offers a cool down all week long—a free and playful way to beat the July heat. The museum is also hosting monthly story time and craft sessions.

For live music lovers, The Nash jazz club downtown hosts performances throughout the weekend, including a Thursday happy hour set tonight by Delphine Cortez, Joel Robin, and friends. Later in the weekend, you’ll find concerts from acts like The Driver Era at Arizona Financial Theatre tonight and Kesha playing the Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre Sunday, as reported by Visit Phoenix.

Art enthusiasts can join a Roro Street Art Tour or explore immersive shows like the Up-Close Illusion Show at Renaissance Downtown Phoenix, perfect for date nights or a memorable family outing.
