June Events
More and more things are opening up in Phoenix and we curate a list of June events for you.
It’s exciting. It’s odd too, isn’t it? I find myself walking around with my mask, constantly putting in on and taking it off. It’s a strange state of flux. Some establishments want them on and some don’t. I try to keep mine on, just to be safe. But then often find myself forgetting to take it with me.
Well, be safe, no matter how you are adapting. Only 50% of the population is vaccinated and I think we need to get to 80% to reach herd immunity.
Enjoy your June events, and please send us suggestions for July. We’d love to hear from you.
Arizona History Happy Hour with Marshall Shore. Grab a beverage and get ready for some fun!
Marshall Shore, Arizona’s Hip Historian, brings you a weekly happy hour (with cocktail recipe) to enjoy interesting tidbits and curiosities from Arizona’s past. He will feature trivia, music history, and little Arizona. Free via Facebook.
Behind the Scenes Science – Camp Innovation at the Arizona Science Center, June 14th. Each 5-day camp session introduces kids to STEM and builds skills for youth through high-energy challenges, building, and design opportunities, and concept exploration. Who’s ready for an exclusive exploration of the Center like you’ve never seen before? During this weeklong camp, step behind the curtain and discover the secrets of your favorite exhibits, learn how the planetarium works and so much more. BTS camp is sure to inspire, educate and engage your curious mind through hands-on science. $295
Pay What You Wish Wednesdays at the Phoenix Art Museum. Phoenix Art Museum offers voluntary-donation hours for general admission and reduced rates to view special-engagement exhibitions. Consider making a donation to support your Museum and these free-access times for our community. 3:00 – 7:00 PM
Water Harvesting Summit with UrbanFarm.org. You can harvest enough rain water every year in Arizona to care for most of your gardening or urban farming needs, believe it or not. I do some of it, and I wish I had more water capacity. I could definitely us it! Join Greg Peterson and the Urban Farm team to learn how you can do it.
Wine Seance at the Farish House, June 17th. Farish House is going to host casual monthly “Wine Seances” where someone from the industry will join you at table, sample 4-5 wines and paired appetizers, and you’ll just sip, laugh and chat for a minute together. Then, they may progress on to Prosecco Spritzes, dinner or desserts, or, ahem, more wine. $25. Editor’s note: I really thought this was a seance, I was down for it. So, congrats to them for a great hook. Might still do this, even without the ghosts.
Daddy Long Legs at Phoenix Theatre Company on June 23rd. A heartwarming Cinderella story about a witty young woman and her mysterious benefactor, this award-winning off-Broadway hit musical offers gorgeous, soaring melodies. It follows Jerusha Abbott, who has grown up in an orphanage but is sent to college by a mysterious benefactor so she may learn to be a writer. The benefactor requires just one thing – that she write to him monthly, even though he will not respond. Her letters to him paint a moving portrait of the development of her mind and spirit, and she emerges as a fiercely independent, intelligent woman, who is destined to find love where she least expects it. $64 – $94.
