This is an exciting weekend for downtown Phoenix! The city is hosting the NCAA Women’s Final Four.

Along with the games comes lots of events for fans, including a free Kehlani concert in Hance Park and a live taping of the “A Touch More” podcast, hosted by sports icons Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe, at the Orpheum Theatre.

I’m headed to a wedding in Sedona tomorrow, but I’m hoping to still catch some of the tournament fanfare before it wraps up.

It’s also Easter on Sunday, which means lots of egg hunts and other celebrations are going on across the state.

National Intercollegiate Wheelchair Basketball Tournament in Tucson, through Saturday
Yuma County Fair, through Sunday
NCAA Women’s Final Four in Phoenix, Thursday-Sunday
