Arizona Restaurant Association

Arizona Restaurant Association, the organization that advocates for and supports the state’s robust hospitality industry, announced that its 2026 Spring Arizona Restaurant Week (ARW) will take place Friday, May 15 through Sunday, May 24. This wildly popular bi-annual event showcases the best dining opportunities around the state with three prix fixe price options, all of which present an incredible deal. &nbsp;

This year’s ARW is poised to offer culinary enthusiasts an enticing array of options, with nearly 240 establishments statewide expected to sign up to participate.

“Arizona Restaurant Week continues to grow and receive incredible feedback because it truly is one of the best dining deals in the state,” said Arizona Restaurant Association (ARA) President and CEO Steve Chucri. “This 10-day experience allows diners to try new restaurants, explore different cuisines and enjoy exclusive menu items at their favorite places, all for a fraction of the usual price.”

Arizona Restaurant Week is an opportunity for diners to explore the state’s unique hospitality landscape, from five-star fine-dining establishments to under-the-radar independently owned restaurants that turn out incredible cuisine. During Spring ARW, participating restaurants offer exclusive three-course ARW menus featuring variations of their most popular dishes in addition to new dishes to try. These menus also highlight seasonal, hyper-local and hard-to-come-by ingredients as well as unique specialty dishes that aren’t often featured on year-round menus.

Spring ARW menus are priced at $33, $44 or $55 per person, plus tax and gratuity. In some cases, this price is per couple, as decided by each restaurant. Some establishments offer exclusive wine pairings or specialty ARW cocktails for an added cost. Take-out versions of ARW menus may also be available. &nbsp; &nbsp;

Arizona Restaurant Week’s participants represent many cuisines and dining styles. Guests can enjoy traditional American classics or indulge in eclectic ethnic options. Restaurants range from fast-casual to formal dining. Diners may choose intimate chef-driven settings or five-star establishments. All three price points offer a wide range of cooking styles and exciting choices.

Restaurants participating in 2026 Spring ARW so far are as follows:
Alterra at Mountain House Lodge
Avanti Restaurant
Barrio Queen (multiple locations) Buck &amp; Rider (multiple locations)
Chilla Prime Steakhouse &amp; Lounge
Copper &amp; Sage

Orpheum Theatre Phoenix

DanceMotion Performing Company Presents Two-Act Spring Showcase at Historic Orpheum Theatre
Bender Performing Arts’ spring production pairs a musical theater celebration with a Queen-inspired exploration of identity and self-acceptance — May 15-16 at the Orpheum Theatre
PHOENIX, May 1, 2025 — DanceMotion Performing Company, the youth performance wing of Bender Performing Arts, will present its spring showcase — Let’s Go to the Movies / The Show Must Go On — on May 15 at 7 p.m. and May 16 at 2 p.m. at the Orpheum Theatre, 203 W. Adams St., Phoenix.
The two-act production, originally conceived and directed by DanceMotion founders Kevin Bender, Meri Bender, and Jenni White, was reimagined for this season by Artistic and Faculty Director Shayna Petruccelli. The show features DanceMotion’s full youth company. In Act 1, Let’s Go to the Movies, younger performers take the stage with high-energy dance numbers set to beloved movie musical soundtracks, including Wicked, The Lion King and more.
Act 2, The Show Must Go On, showcases the company’s older dancers in a more mature, conceptual work exploring identity, loss, and self-acceptance through the music of Queen, Annie Lennox, Christina Aguilera and others. The act takes its thematic cues from Queen’s iconic anthem, examining how individuals can live authentically in a world of prescribed expectations.
