Looking for something interesting to do this weekend? We've hand-picked some Hotspots worth checking out. From big community events to things off the beaten path — here are some ideas for getting out in the Valley. (Don't worry, introverts — we've got something for you, too!)

FOR EXTROVERTS

Calling all dog lovers to Tempe Marketplace on Saturday for Pup Festival. See dog races, check out photo ops and rescue dog adoptions and more.

FOR INTROVERTS

Soar to new hights at the Arizona Balloon Classic on the Wild Horse Pass Festival Grounds, Friday through Sunday.

FEELING WILD?

Check out Superhero Saturday in Phoenix, benefitting Childhelp and The Phoenix Police Sergeants and Lieutenants Association (PPSLA) Charities. Attractions include a cosplay competition, Jake “The Snake” Plummer and NASCAR show cars.
