Paradise Valley Houses Great Annual Events

by Russ Lyonrealty Thanks to a wealth of sunshine and an upscale lifestyle, residents of Paradise Valley, Arizona live near a plethora of cities and towns that boast numerous indoor and outdoor events, many of them just a hop, skip and jump from homes in Paradise Valley itself.For example, neighboring Scottsdale has a number of signature events. In January you can expect P.F. Chang's Rock ?n? Roll Marathon; the Native Trails Celebration of Native American culture, song, dance and food; the PGA?s Waste Management Open (known forever to locals as The Phoenix Open); and Barrett-Jackson?s dramatic multi-million-dollar auction of classic and collectible automobiles. About a half-hour away in Glendale, the Fiesta Bowl is held shortly after New Year?s, pitting two of college football?s best teams against each other.Early February marks the beginning of rodeo season with parades and professional rodeo competitions to delight the whole family, while March is one of the most exciting times in the Valley, as Major League Baseball teams from across the country come to stadiums all across the Phoenix metropolitan area for Spring Training.In April, nearby Scottsdale celebrates the Scottsdale Culinary Festival as well as Arizona Bike Week, which offers daily charity motorcycle rides, bike races and parties. Things tend to slow down in the summer, but September brings the Scottsdale Classic Horse Show and Arizona Restaurant Week where three-course dinner menus are offered at amazingly discounted prices at over one hundred Valley restaurants. The fall is also host to Scottsdale Fashion Week, which allows fashion designers to show off some of their finest creations. Wearable ArtWalk, an on-the-street Milan-Style fashion show, adds to the fun. Then it?s on to the Goodguys Southwest Nationals? Show featuring customs, classics, rods and muscle cars. ArtFest of Scottsdale and ?Book Street? round out September. Finally, it wouldn?t be December in the Valley of the Sun without ZooLights at the Phoenix Zoo and Holidays at the Heard Museum, with artist demonstrations, music and dance performances, and special programming that celebrates the Southwest.
