Radar: To Do in PHX 6.9-6.12

We’re here to ease you into events that will cool you off and heat you up. This week’s digital radar is your guide for events that are for everyone. Choose between a poolside happy hour with not a lot of clothes or a burlesque show with possibly even less clothes. Pick between an LGBTQ+ poetry night or getting crazy with Patsy Cline. Whatever your tastes are, feel certain that Phoenix is your place for active living. Note: Some descriptions courtesy of event hosts and edited for clarity.
