It is the height of the high season and things are still in full-swing. The first part of the year was quite busy with the Superbowl, Barrett-Jackson, the Waste Management Open and more, and the next couple of months promise to offer plenty of things to do for all kinds of interests.
February 27th – March 1st – 20th Annual Carefree Fine Art & Wine Festival – This is one of my favorite events to attend.

Various art mediums range across all styles from contemporary to western and more. Admission is $3 per person and wine is additional.
