Spring Training, Sunny Skies and Family Fun Mark a Busy Friday in Scottsdale

Scottsdale is heading into the weekend with full calendars, spring baseball and classic Arizona sunshine.

Sunny and Warm to Kick Off the Weekend

Friday’s forecast calls for a high near 93 degrees with light winds and minimal chance of rain. Evening temperatures are expected to dip into the low 60s, making for comfortable conditions for outdoor dining, games and events around town.

Spring Training Action at Salt River Fields

Cactus League play continues in Scottsdale, drawing fans to Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. The Arizona Diamondbacks are hosting the Colorado Rockies this afternoon, bringing steady traffic to the area and a boost for nearby restaurants and shops.

With spring break season underway, city officials are reminding drivers to plan ahead and allow extra travel time around the ballpark and Loop 101 corridor.

Good Guys Spring Nationals Roll Into WestWorld

Car enthusiasts are gathering at WestWorld for the Good Guys Spring Nationals, a two-day celebration of hot rods and classic cars running March 13–14. The event features thousands of custom and vintage vehicles, live entertainment, vendors and family-friendly activities.

Organizers expect strong attendance throughout the weekend, adding to an already busy stretch for Scottsdale’s event venues.

Free Family Event at Vista del Camino

Families looking for a low-cost Friday night activity can head to Vista del Camino Community Center for Space Jam, a free city-hosted program running from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event includes space-themed crafts, games and light refreshments.

City recreation leaders say programs like this are designed to give families safe, educational options while school is out for spring break.

Between baseball, car shows and community gatherings, Scottsdale is closing out the week with the kind of energy that defines March in the desert.
