What's going on this week?

Charlie Puth takes the LiveWire stage on Monday night. It's also the wrap-up party for Scottsdale Fashion Week.

Bruce Springsteem and the E Street Band is in town!

Parmalee comes into town later in the week to headline the 2016 Chandler Ostrich Festival. If you haven't gone before, yes, there are ostrich races (it's a quirky Chandler thing, but you have to like it!).
