Phoenix runs one of the busiest gay calendars in the Southwest, centred on the Melrose District — 7th Avenue's strip of bars, drag stages and country dance floors. The heat shapes the rhythm: things start late, patios matter, and the best nights midweek are indoors with a show. This page is the live cut of tonight in the Valley, refreshed every twenty minutes from our calendar, with the open-now bar list when you would rather improvise. Scottsdale and Tempe events show up here too when they make the cut.
