What it does
Phoenix Events answers questions about things to do in the Phoenix Valley (Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Mesa, Glendale), with a focus on date nights and weekends. It is read-only: it looks up listings and never books, buys or changes anything.
Coverage: Weekly and monthly regulars (tag 'recurring') and concerts at The Van Buren, Crescent Ballroom and Valley Bar through 2026-12-31, plus Ticketmaster-listed events across the Valley through 2026-12-31; other one-time events (shows, festivals, arts) through 2026-11-08.

Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_events | Finds events by keywords, date range (defaults to today onward), city or

Where the data comes from
Listings come from venues' and organizers' own public pages and calendars, and from ticketing sites. Each listing links to its source and says when it was last checked. Weekly and monthly regulars are confirmed at the source and then listed for each upcoming date; holiday dates are flagged because they may not run. Venue calendars are re-read every night. Details can change, so check the link before you go.
Troubleshooting
- No results: the date may be outside the coverage above, or the filters may be too narrow. Try fewer tags or a wider date range.
- Connector won't connect: make sure the URL ends in
/mcpand that you picked no sign-in / no authentication. - Wrong time, price or place: please report it (below) with the event title and date.
