Obviously, you should go by the Downtown Phoenix Public Market this coming Saturday from 8 AM to Noon to browse, have coffee or breakfast and buy your veggies and other locally made stuff, but an additional benefit to the Saturday scene at the Public Market is all of the really "low cost", high quality education being offered with special classes at the Meeting Room, right across the alley from the Outdoor Market.  Check out these offerings for Saturday.

No Problem!  You can go hang out by the Pool at the Hotel San Carlos even though you are not a guest at the Hotel!  That's right, every Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 10 PM, the general public is free to come hang out at the Hotel Pool, which I believe is located on the Third Floor.  Anyway, they have a full bar and live DJ style music and it's a real, live, Downtown Phoenix Pool Party!
