Tomorrow the downtown Phoenix area will experience an influx as music enthusiasts gather for the second year of Phoenix Lights Festival. Last year the single day event was such a success that they (Relentless Beats) vowed to go twice as big – and they kept their promise. The two-day event this weekend will attract a lot of attention as we all gather in Margaret T Hance Park for 8 hours of amazing music, food, and community!
Pro-Tip: If you have a vertical license and are of age, you will should bring a passport if you expect to buy any drinks this weekend.
Phoenix Lights Festival 2016 Set Times:
There may only be two stages, but you’re going to want to know when your favorite DJ is on!
Phoenix Lights Festival 2016 Parking:
There is no parking on-site for the festival itself, so it’s highly recommended that you use the light rail or public transportation to get to the event. However, if you really want to drive yourself there are garages and lots that surround the park that will allow you to park for a fee.
The Light Rail is only $2 for a ride, so $4 bucks a day and you can actually do Park and Ride (lots that you can drive to and park to get on the rail). Check here for the closest park and ride to where you are.
