\n We get about 93 days of summer each year, the experts say. But if you live in Phoenix, you know that our temperatures heat up in the spring and stay toasty well into fall. (They don\u2019t call us the Valley of the Sun for nothing!)<\/p>\n
On those searing days, we desert-dwellers often wait for the sun to set before venturing out into the city. What do we find there? A place that, unlike the Phoenix of even a decade ago, is a hot commodity in the nighttime, a city full of cutting-edge theater, nationally recognized restaurants and bars, exciting sports, moonlit hikes, exciting music, fresh art and so much more.<\/p>\n
Not that you can\u2019t find all that during the day \u2013 the Valley is a hotbed of activity when the sun\u2019s up, too. Which is why New Times’ Best of Phoenix\u00ae 2023, Hot Desert Nights, celebrates the best of what the city to has to offer, night and day, and this year, we\u2019ve got more than 400 categories we\u2019re excited to share with you.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s something magical about a warm evening in the city. Come with us to explore Phoenix under the moonlight with Hot Desert Nights.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We get about 93 days of summer each year, the experts say.
