There are soooo many good events happening this coming month in Phoenix! Everything starts to pick back up before the holidays, and there’s a lot of festivals and experiences taking place if you’re in the mood to get out and do something. So, I just had to point out some of my favorites! Here are 10 November events happening in Phoenix.

The Water Lantern Festival is happening this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, November 1st-3rd at Tempe Town Lake! Hang out, enjoy delicious food trucks, decorate your lanterns, and then launch them into the water with hundreds of strangers in unison. It’s magical! And don’t worry, each and every lantern is collected from the water after the event along with any existing trash, to ensure their “leave no trace” commitment is upheld.

The first ever Better Together Music Festival is being held right in Chandler, Arizona and the lineup is stacked with artists of all different genres! The festival grounds will be transformed into a fun-filled space of art installations, interactive activities, and gourmet food vendors. The best part is that a portion of the festival’s proceeds will go towards charitable projects. Because Better Together is not just a festival, it's a movement.

I know NASCAR is a fun watch for a lot of people, and with the Cup Series Championship being here in Phoenix, I thought it could make for a fun outing. There is a pre-race concert by Nelly that day that’s sure to get the party started. And with multiple ticket and entertainment options, you’re sure to have a blast!
Be sure to follow along on my Instagram in case I share more of what’s happening around town that I didn't share here!
