🍂 Great Fall Kickoff: Music, Blooms & the Garden After Dark

Fall in Phoenix may not come with changing leaves and sweater weather, but we're going to celebrate it anyway.
PHX Social Club is heading to Desert Botanical Garden for opening night of the Great Fall Kickoff Festival.
We'll start the evening together with appetizers at Gertrude's before heading out into the Garden as the sun goes down.
🍽️ First Stop: Gertrude's
Once we're inside the Garden, we'll head to Gertrude's, where PHX Social Club will have a spread of appetizers and bottled water waiting for the group.
Want something else to drink? The Garden will have beverages available for individual purchase that evening, and we'll give everyone a chance to grab a drink before we sit down at Gertrude's.
PLEASE NOTE: We'll only be at Gertrude's for about 45 minutes, so we will not be placing individual food or drink orders at the table. With 12 people, taking individual orders and settling separate checks would take up too much of the time we'd rather spend actually enjoying the evening together.
We'll keep it simple: PHX provides the appetizers and water, you can grab a drink beforehand if you'd like, and then we're off to explore the Garden.
🎶 Music Along the Garden Trails
Trailside Tunes brings live music to three different locations throughout the Garden.
We'll make our way through the trails together, stopping for live performances along the way rather than spending the evening sitting in one place.
🌸 Super Bloom After Dark
We'll also explore Super Bloom, the Garden's newest exhibition spread throughout the grounds.
As daylight disappears, the desert landscape transforms with illuminated pathways and displays throughout the Garden.
