Desert Botanical Garden to host Agave on Rocks

March 24th, 2009, 12:03 pm by Jess Harter

Only a couple hundred tickets remain for Agave on the Rocks — a nightlife event featuring margaritas, food and contemporary art —  which will be held Friday at the Desert Botanical Garden.

Attendance is limited to 1,200 people. John Sallot, the garden’s marketing manager, says a little more than 300 tickets remained as of late Monday.

“We’re selling about 50 tickets a day,” he says. In other words, don’t count on being able to show up Friday and get tickets.

Tickets are $75 ($70 if you’re a garden member) and include two drink tickets, all the food you can eat and access to the garden’s current Dale Chihuly glass sculpture exhibit.

More than a dozen restaurants and caterers will provide the food, including Red White & Brew, The Stockyards, Sam’s Cafe, Atlasta Catering (Basis and the late Bar Tepo) and M Catering by Michael’s.

The 21-and-over event runs 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Info: (480) 481-8188 or dbg.org.
