Located on Tempe Town Lake, the stunning structure of Tempe Center for the Arts (TCA) cannot be missed. This state-of-the-art venue houses a 600 seat proscenium theater, a 200 seat studio theater, and a 3,500 square foot gallery.  Popular for weddings, banquets, meetings, and special events, the TCA is the crown jewel of the Tempe event scene.

A fun “spin” on a classic race, is the 10^th anniversary of Arizona’s P.F. Changs Rock ‘n Roll Marathon & ½ Marathon. This year’s event takes place on  Sunday, January 20th, and benefits many local and national charities including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  A qualifier for the Boston Marathon, participants run while they “rock out” through three Arizona cities, with music acts on every mile of the course.
