October is when Arizona starts getting social again. Here are 30 characterful things to do around Cave Creek, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale and Phoenix this month.
Things to Do in Scottsdale and Phoenix This October
Thank goodness Arizona starts to get social again in October. The weather begins cooperating, dinner outside sounds reasonable again, and suddenly there are several things happening in the same week that I actually want to leave the house for.
Spooky season is honestly my favorite, so this month’s list leans a little strange: palmistry at Curious Nature, painted pumpkins, haunted dining, a 1953 alien invasion at Taliesin West, plus Desert Design Week, a full moon hike, painting, music and a few very good reasons to spend an evening outside. Everything below is linked. Save it, come back to it, and tell me what you end up doing.

When I am helping someone consider a move here, I want them to understand more than the housing stock. The places you wander into on a Saturday, the drive you make for dinner, and the things that end up on your calendar become part of the decision too.
If Cave Creek, Paradise Valley, or Scottsdale is on your radar, send me a note.
