Scottsdale’s event season heats up this month with two major happenings debuting at Scottsdale Civic Center — the Dreamy Draw Music Festival and Every Woman’s Marathon — bringing music, movement and community spirit to the heart of Old Town.

Scottsdale Civic Center will have limited access through Nov. 17 to accommodate both events.

First, the Dreamy Draw Music Festival celebrates Arizona’s vibrant country and Americana music scene, showcasing local and national artists. The festival will be held from 3 to 11 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7, and from 1 to 11 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, featuring live performances on all three stages at the Civic Center as well as at Scottsdale Stadium.

Second, Every Woman’s Marathon is a national running event and festival celebrating the strength, wellness and community of women. The event schedule includes the pre-race expo from 2 to 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15. The marathon and festival will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16.

The course primarily follows the Indian Bend Wash Greenbelt, taking runners through several north Scottsdale intersections where traffic will be managed by safety personnel.

The route exits the greenbelt at McDowell Road. Drivers and others near the race route should plan for delays, use alternate routes, and allow extra travel time, as several streets will be impacted throughout the morning and early afternoon.

The Civic Center fully reopens to the public on Monday, Nov. 17.
