I am so excited for this weekend—I’m hitting the road with some friends to go wine tasting in Cottonwood.

It’s been a few years since I’ve enjoyed drinks on the city’s Main Street, so I’m looking forward to going back and trying some new places.

There is some rain forecasted, though, and relatively chilly temps on the way, so enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!

Here are some events going on this weekend:

Canal Convergence in Scottsdale, through Sunday
Coyote Classic All-Breed Dog Shows in Tucson, through Monday
Tree Lighting at Caesars Republic Scottsdale, Friday
Tucson Greek Festival, Friday
Dino’s Git-Down Truck and Car Show, in Glendale, Friday-Saturday

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Arizonans and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at The Copper Courier has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Arizona families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
