PHOENIX — Looking for something to do this weekend in the Valley? The list below offers a few options.

Schnepf Farms Peach Festival

Nothing says summer like biting into a fresh peach and your family can do that at Schnepf Farm’s Peach Festival between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free.

Ameri-CAN Beer Festival

Try over 150 beer from 60 breweries — all in cans — at the Ameri-CAN Beer Fest in Scottsdale on Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance and $35 at the door.

Ren, Wine & Brew Block Party

Help Phoenix recognize the revitalization of their downtown area at the Ren, Wine & Brew Block Party hosted by the Renaissance Hotel. Adams Street will be shut down between Central Avenue and First Street to make room for this party that runs from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday. Food and drinks are available for purchase.

Bob Marley

No, it’s not the Jamaican reggae legend, but this Bob Marley will have audiences in stitches when he takes the stage at the Tempe Improv all weekend long. Showtimes vary, but tickets are $20.

Rock-N-Glow 5K

Have some old neon clothes from the ’80s you’ve been meaning to wear? Check out the Rock-N-Glow 5K in Glendale on Friday. The run — and music — starts at 6 p.m.

We want to hear from you.
