With Memorial Day weekend in the rearview mirror, there are only a few weeks left until the official start of summer. There’s no better time to go out and do something fun, and your options this week include a screening of an 80s classic, a Meet the Artists event, and a dark dance party.Open Mic Music NightAfter more than a year Without seeing the smiling faces of the whole city, people are almost dizzy when they are out and about again. Almost everyone has stories to tell or the impulse to express themselves in new ways. Open mic nights across the city provide a creative outlet for those looking to take the stage and fill a grateful audience. The Yucca Tap Room at 29 West Southern Avenue in Tempe is all about music with free open mic nights. Check it out on Monday May 31st when artist registrations start at 8 p.m. and the music starts at 9 p.m. While you’re there, check out all of the murals by local artists in Danelle Plaza that are transforming the parking lot a lot behind Yucca Tap Room into a funky exhibition space. Lynn TrimbleGlobal Running DayEvery day seems to have a special meaning. In June, sushi, the color pink, yo-yos, kissing, ugly dogs and bourbon are on the program. Wednesday June 2nd is Global Running Day, which is where some runners around the world take special pride in encouraging other people to get out and try running. Of course, it’s also an excuse for runners to spend a little more time than usual indulging in their passion and running skills. Tortoise & Hare Sports at 17570 North 75th Avenue, # 605, Glendale, is celebrating this evening at 6 p.m. with a free event where you can take a five or five mile walk or run with family, friends, or other running enthusiasts . A pre-registration is neccessary. Lynn Trimble Relax with some wine as you paint a peaceful sunset on the beach. Carrie Curran Art Studios Sip and PaintBeaches were jam-packed for the holidays last weekend, confirming how crazy the whole country is in pandemic mode. Photos captured great fun, as evidenced by all of these Instagram feeds of sunsets along the coast. Now at Carrie Curran Art Studios, 8300 North Hayden Road, Suite A100, Scottsdale, relive the best memories of the ocean from your recent or distant past as you paint a beautiful sunset on the beach and sip wine.

Lynn Trimble Save a spot on your calendar for Ferris. Paramount Starlight Movie Night There’s a new actor in the local outdoor movie scene as Scottsdale is now holding a series of screenings on the outfield of Scottsdale Stadium at 7408 East Osborn Road, Scottsdale. For Saturday June 5th, the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, the 1986 classic starring Matthew Broderick as a student, takes cutting lessons to a whole new level. Seating areas for up to four people are provided for this summer movie night, and viewers are encouraged to bring their own blanket to sit on the lawn. The gates open at 7 p.m. so people can arrive early if they want to hear summer-inspired tunes or buy food and drinks before the movie rolls out at 8 p.m. Tickets are $ 25 for pre-marked space for up to four people. Lynn Trimble DJ Tristan / Iseult returns to the Rebel Lounge this weekend. Benjamin Leatherman HÄXAN: Black Magic / Mask At every dance party that DJ Tristan Iseult organizes, a few things are a matter of course: atmospheric vibes for the beginning, as well as dark and loud tracks of the industrial and techno variants that roar over the sound system and clad in black Gothic guests populate the dance floor. This is what the scene looks like on Saturday, June 5th, during HÄXAN: Black Magic / Mask in the Rebel Lounge, 2303 East Indian School Road. It is Tristan Iseult’s first dance party since the pandemic and he will play dark electronic, post-industrial, witch house and nihilistic techno together with DJs Mijito and Tavoo. Occult visuals by local artist AJ Strout will also help emphasize the somber atmosphere. The party starts at 9 p.m. and entry is $ 10. Benjamin Leatherman Canacopia With everything we’ve all been through in the last year, people could probably use a drink (or three) to help with coping. And at Canacopia’s opening event on Saturday June 5th at the Eastmark Visitor and Community Center, 10100 East Ray Road, Mesa, drinks will be served in 8-ounce aluminum cans. This all-day festival features more than 60 brands of adult beverages – including craft beer, hard selters, and wines – served in cans in two different sessions: from 12pm to 4pm and from 5pm to 9pm Jim Bachmann and the Day Drinkers (natch), Tommy Price and the Stilettos and The Hourglass Cats will perform.

Five15 Arts Meet the Artists It’s pretty easy to find coffee shops that show work by local artists, but you don’t often get the chance to meet the artists and talk to them about their work. On Sunday, June 6th, multiple artists with work will be on location for a free meet and greet at Grinders Coffee Co., 17 East Dunlap Avenue, # 104, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The “Serenity” exhibition features more than 20 artists with very different styles, including many who plan to attend the event: Cherie Buck-Hutchison, Charmagne Vasquez Coe, Brenda Edwards, Kristen Fagan, Darlene Mount Ritter, Cindy Schnackel, Lynn Smith, Joan Thompson, Marissa Vidrio, Dyane World and Randy Zucker.
