We believe this city \u2014 and Arizona \u2014 are among the most exciting places in the world, and VIVA PHX aims to show exactly why.<\/p>\n \u201cThe idea that \u2018culture happens when we\u2019re together,\u2019 a cornerstone of VIVA\u2019s philosophy, inspires us to keep the majority of events free and open, creating space for people to come together when the world needs it most.\u201d<\/p>\n VIVA PHX celebrated its first event in 2014 and it will continue to highlight the Valley\u2019s culture through live concerts and local pop-up food vendors.<\/p>\n No performances have been announced at this time, but over the years the event has hosted Halsey, The Neighbourhood and Freddie Gibbs.<\/p>\n Other artists and bands that have performed at the downtown Phoenix festival include Cuco Gannons and The Walters.<\/p>\n Parking arrangements have also not been announced for next year, but the Plaza Garage, 2nd Avenue Garage and Cityscape West Garage were all options<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n VIVA PHX schedule of events<\/p>\n Here is the projected scheduling of events for VIVA PHX in 2026:<\/p>\n Follow @pwmoses11<\/a><\/p>\n We want to hear from you.<\/p>\n Have a story idea or tip?
