VIVA PHX Music Festival Returns!

The iconic music festival VIVA PHX returns to downtown Phoenix this October – the perfect way to celebrate the fest’s 10th anniversary.

Salt River Merch Drop

The Salt River has been a source of innovation and recreation for thousands of years in Greater Phoenix with its combination of serene landscape, water activities, and potential glimpses of wild horses. Visit Phoenix partnered with local designer Cactus Country to pay homage to the quintessential Salt River with an exclusive shirt, cap, and bucket hat. Featuring themes of desert landscapes, Sonoran wildlife, and river-adjacent activities, it is the ultimate tribute to summertime on the Salt River.

Explore Creative Phoenix

Artists have flocked to Arizona for decades to find their muse in the rich cultural heritage, stunning desert landscape, and diverse population that seems to be perpetually reinventing itself. Here, in the Valley of the Sun, you’ll get a taste for contrast – where Old West meets modern and deep Native American roots coexist with a bustling downtown core. From an intimate neighborhood gallery to an internationally recognized art museum, Phoenix hosts a flourishing art scene.
