Watch top-ranked tennis pros compete up close and personal as the 5th annual Arizona Tennis Classic returns to the Phoenix Country Club on March 10 – 16, 2025. The state’s sole ATP Challenger Tour event, this highly-anticipated tourney is Arizona tennis fans’ only chance to see up-and-coming stars, such as Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini, who competed in last year’s event. (This year’s 32-man lineup will be announced at a later date.)


Hosted on the beautiful grounds of the Phoenix Country Club, tickets start at only $40. Most important, all proceeds for this non-profit event will again be donated to local charities such as Phoenix Children’s Hospital, as well as Serve the Future, an organization that empowers local underserved youth through tennis.


Launched in 2019, the Arizona Tennis Classic is part of the ATP Challenger Tour, the proving ground for rising stars and highly ranked seasoned players. And because it’s scheduled between two of the ATP Tour’s biggest tournaments in the US, Indian Wells and The Miami Open, the event draws a surprisingly stacked collection of top players from around the world looking to win the $231,150 in prize money, and earn 175 tour points, while enjoying a week of fun in the Arizona sun.

So much happened before Dorothy dropped in.


WICKED, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle.  Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.” 


From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. “If every musical had the brains, heart and courage of WICKED, Broadway really would be a magical place” (Time Magazine).

Thunderbird Artists, the Southwest's premier fine art event producer, proudly presents the 30th Annual Spring Carefree Fine Art & Wine Festival in downtown Carefree, March 14th, 15th & 16th, 2025. The carefully curated selection of 150 juried fine artists showcases diverse styles and mediums, allowing attendees to discover new favorites, expand their artistic horizons, engage directly with the creators and learn about their creative processes and inspirations, all while listening to live musicians, sampling fine wines, flavored spirits, local microbrews, savory food, sweet treats and more!



Art:
Known in the art world as ‘… a Collectors’ Paradise’, ™ Thunderbird Artists prides itself on quality and diversity. The festival includes juried artists from around the country, exhibiting a wide range of oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolors, gouache, and photography, as well as ink, pencil, and charcoal drawings. Collectors with more surface space than empty walls can take home sculpture in stone, bronze, metal, hand-blown glass, wood, clay, gourds, and a wide range of one-of-a-kind jewelry. This year’s featured artist is mixed-media, collage artist, Aileen Frick.

Wine and Spirits:
The pairing of fine art with wine creates a multisensory experience that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Art enthusiasts can appreciate the craftsmanship and creativity behind each piece while savoring the delicate flavors and aromas of different wines. Similarly, wine connoisseurs can indulge in their passion for exquisite beverages while immersing themselves in the world of art. Furthermore, this combination attracts a diverse audience, drawing in both art lovers and wine enthusiasts alike. This year’s participating wineries include Black Mesa Cellars, Celestial Artisan Meadery (honey wines located in Carefree), Figjam, King Frosch, Schlossadler International, Mediterranean Table, and Wilson Creek Winery. For those who prefer grains to grapes, there’s Adventurous Stills, Desert Diamond Distillery and Carefree Spirits. Patrons interested in sampling can purchase an engraved souvenir glass with tasting tickets—and unlike other festivals with designated alcohol zones, Thunderbird Artists events allow patrons to wander at will, sipping wine and immersing themselves in world-class art.
