This is an opportunity to look at some fine art, enjoy the weather, and get a bite to eat from one of the local food trucks. Located in the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall, it's a beautiful location for a nice event.
However, there are two reasons I only give this three stars. 1.The admission fee of $8. I've been to plenty of art events and street fairs over the years in many different states and countries, and this is the only one I can remember that charges admission just to browse. 2. They restrict the food trucks to selling bottled water and you can only buy other drinks at the official beverage tents. Now I don't care if they want to limit alcohol sales to their own tents, but forcing me to pay $2 for a 16 oz bottle of Pepsi (not even a full 20 oz bottle) is ridiculous.
Plain and simple, this is an event designed for tourists, but if you've got a few extra dollars in your pocket and want something to do, it's OK.
