Presidents Day has passed, and Lent has begun –– now let’s hope that doesn’t mean you’ve given up on exploration! This week, the DevilPass brings you another wide array of activities in the downtown area, including a community revitalization project, a benefit show, three new unique plays and the return of a ‘90s indie-rock godfather. Each of these events is close to home, so there’s no excuse not to get out and do something!
Something is different this week: Downtown Phoenix really has drawn the best. The Live Music Capital of the World, classic photographic process, rising local stars, a celebration of community, genre legends and the one and only Rhinestone Cowboy all have gathered in our fair city to share their craft. As Phoenix continues its centennial year, downtown is making the case for being a national cultural landmark. This week, celebrate legacy and future, tradition and progression. It’s all downtown.
Start with the traditional, and make your way toward the obscure. This weekend, DevilPass wholeheartedly recommends it. Start with the family-friendly Best Fest in celebration of Arizona's centennial and finish with Exotic Phantasmagorical Spectacular. Fun for all ages (and levels of bravery)!
This week's DevilPass features three legacies of black art in Phoenix, classic comics, pop-punk collaborations, a local girl made famous, historic automobiles and Hispanic art spaces.
With retro pleasures and accordion-playing pin-ups at the Trunk Space, new views on literature at the Torch Theater, war commentary at the Herberger, operatic goth at the Crescent, and food and folk at Stinkweeds, there’s something for everyone this weekend in Downtown Phoenix.
