Looking for weekend plans? From festivals to rodeos, here are some events going on across Arizona.

Sometimes it can be tough to find things going on in Arizona during the summer thanks to our infamous heat, but if you look a little harder, events are still happening.
This weekend, we’ve got a few music festivals (one featuring Shaquille O’Neal who now DJs), some sports events, and a challenge for theater-lovers to create and perform a play within 24 hours.
It’s a slow weekend for professional sports—the Arizona Diamondbacks and Cardinals are out of town—but hopefully something on this list calls to you.
