Life is expensive, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring! It’s a beautiful day to try something new, don’t you agree? Here’s a list of some of my favorite “FREE” things to do in Phoenix.

First Friday – Live music and arts on Phoenix’s Roosevelt Row

First Fridays Live Music and Art Galleries

First Friday Map — https://artlinkphx.org/first-fridays/

Mingle with thousands of your best friends and enjoy the first Friday of each month on Roosevelt Row.

Arizona Capitol Museum

This Phoenix Museum is free to the public. It’s got amazing history of the city. The building used to be Arizona’s State Capital building. Tours are about 45 minutes. Also, there’s free parking at the Wesley Bolin Plaza.

Hike Camelback Mountain

The most popular outdoor hiking route in the Phoenix area is Camelback Mountain. It’s 20 minutes from downtown and offers great exercise and amazing views once you get to the top, but is definitely challenging. You can get to the top from both Canyon trail and Cholla trail and start early in the morning if you can!
