If you're looking for something to do this week, you're in the right place.

Arizona Restaurant Week continues this week. Restaurants from around the state are offering three-course pre-fixe meals for either $33 or $44 per person (sometimes per couple). It's a great way to experience a new restaurant and try some new menu items you perhaps normally wouldn't.

Lil Wayne is in town at the Comerica Theatre.

And this weekend the Cave Creek Balloon Festival is going on, as well as the Phoenix Caribbean Carnival! 

Scroll down for more information on these events and a bunch of others.
