Spring Was In the Air
Beautiful Days & Nights Created the Perfect Setting for
The Great Arizona Picnic™(Scottsdale, AZ) – April 26, 2004 – Scottsdale’s beautiful spring weather was the perfect backdrop for foodies, families, and fun-loving crowds to meet for one amazing weekend. On Saturday, April 17th and Sunday, April 18th, the Great Arizona Picnic transformed the Scottsdale Civic Center Plaza into a food lover’s paradise.
The two day picnic provided an outdoor arena to sample culinary masterpieces showcased by the Valley’s finest chefs and restaurateurs. From the young and hip to the mature and sophisticated there was something for everyone at this year’s picnic.
Food lovers took their palates on a culinary adventure and while lounging in the grass enjoyed continuous entertainment by the Groove Merchants, Azz Izz, and over a dozen other bands. Garduño’s Margarita Village served up frozen treats near the east gate while to the west the Absolut Tent was the place to see and be seen as sun-kissed patrons gathered in the shade and sipped a variety of cocktails featuring unique Absolut Vodka flavors. The fun continued at the Southwest Festival of Beers™ where over 250 different types of beer were available to festival participants. A Kids Zone, complete with games and miniature golf, helped make this year’s Great Arizona Picnic a hit for the whole family.The Scottsdale League for the Arts (SLA) contributes to several Valley organizations, including the Scottsdale Center for the Arts, the Arts in Education Council, and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.
