Party for the Planet

Saturday May 14, 2022
6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

What better way to celebrate and appreciate the Sonoran Desert than to toast to it? Stand among the saguaros at the Desert Museum and sip on the best local brews in the Southwest at our annual craft beer festival: Party for the Planet! When you aren't sippin', you can visit with our engaging animals, dance under the stars, and enjoy local munchies. You can also feel the touch of a stingray and try your hand at desert trivia! This event celebrates Endangered Species Day. This is a great opportunity for you to learn about the importance of protecting endangered species (like our Mexican gray wolves) and everyday actions you can take to help.

Food will be available for purchase from Ironwood Terraces and Phoebe’s Coffee Bar, as well as from local food trucks. While we do have water available for purchase, we encourage you to bring your own reusable water bottle (it is a party for the planet)! We have water fountains all over grounds for your convenience.

(Day of ticket prices increase by $10)

Please note: While being in the middle of the desert is awesome, cell phone service is not. It can be difficult to reach a rideshare service so we highly suggest that you have a designated driver or make other pick up arrangements. This event may sell out. 21+ only, strollers are strictly prohibited.
