This week in Phoenix is EXACTLY why I love sharing all the incredible things happening in our city 🥲 The lineup is really all about one thing: SUPPORTING LOCAL!

From historic theaters and art galleries to neighborhood block parties, longtime family owned businesses & hundreds of local makers, Downtown + Central Phoenix has SO much going on!

Consider this your reminder to get out of the house and actually experience the city you live in. Go somewhere new. Meet somebody. Support a local business. Do a weird little activity just because. You don’t have to spend a bunch of money or have some elaborate plan to be part of what makes this city special.

Phoenix is so much more fun when we actually show up for it 🫶🏼

A little tip when you’re deciding what to do this week:
-Pick one thing/place you’ve never been to before
-Go check out the neighborhood
-Buy something from a local business
-Talk to somebody you don’t know

That’s how we actually build a strong Central & Downtown Phoenix community. Not just by saying “support local.” By actually showing up!
