    We had lawn seats and brought blankets for Train. It was great! The location was a 1 minute walk to…read moreget water and 1.5 minutes to the flushing toilets. Plentiful food and drink options and you can bring in a gallon per person of water so sealed bottles or empty ones work. We brought a water spray bottle to cool off and that was great. Free parking! Don't be fooled into buying it. Took us 5 minutes to walk from lawn seats to car in the normal parking lot, seriously. The ONLY complaint I have is kind of a big one. If a breeze blew by, it often meant smelling garbage. At times (and those time were like 20-30 minutes long!), it smelled like a landfill. It was pretty gross TBH. I'd still return but I do hope the next time we come, it's when the weather is cooler and the heinous garbage smell doesn't sit over the seating areas. It was unpleasant and I'll bring an air freshener to dampen the scent next time. Acoustics are fine. Heard everything so clear.

    Really unexpected.. I never knew this place existed in…read moreMaryvale just of the freeway, real easy in & out, Reminds me of the Irvine Meadows in California (for those who escaped Ca.). It is an open venue with a shade structure over the seated sections with comfortable seating, concessions at either end & plenty of bathrooms. You can't blame the heat on the venue, they do a decent job with HUGE fans blowing on the seated sections, i think they could utilize a misting system No it's nowhere near Talking Stick,‍ Smooth driving in from the west, stay to the right, 1st driveway is "easy out parking", next driveway is..... free parking..... Typical concert traffic, chill out & relax getting in & out, not a problem. Entering, security was professional, efficient & easy to get in, although the sensors did discover my Wife's stash... a blow pop in her pocket! Sound was good, Pat sounded awesome! Be advised summer heat, you're going to sweat, you are allowed 1 GALLON water per person, 2 if it's REALLY .. That was awesome to read. We enjoyed it a lot & look to return for a cool month concert.

    Great venue! You also can stay at resort without worrying about all the traffic when it's over.read more

    I averaged my rating based on Oct 2012 (5Star) and April 2013 (3.5 Star)…read more The Arizona Jazz Festival is one of the nicest/prettiest music festivals I've attended. Normally, festivals are held in these huge fair grounds with dirty dust being kicked up everywhere. But what is so wonderful and nice about the AZ Jazz festival is that it is held on the beautiful grounds of the Historic Wigwam Resort http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-wigwam-litchfield-park#hrid:-Yra83fScX6aPuKW8hLBSQ. My review in this link tells you how I feel about the Wigwam. As for the musical selection at this "jazz" festival, it is a common tongue in cheek comment that this is not a real Jazz festival because the major draws to the event are "neo-soul" and "old school R&B/Soul" performers. A fellow Yelper, Reese J, commented that the festival should be renamed "Arizona Soul Festival". Nevertheless, the fun atmosphere and talented draws are certainly worth the money and time. So for a little FYI: This festival was previously held at the JW Marriott. This festival is put on every 6 months in October and April. I attended both the October 2012 and April 2013 events. My friends and I bought hotel packages for each event. If you live locally and you live out in Mesa, consider it. The convenience of running to the room at 4pm after sitting in the sun and heat to take a quick shower and change can't be beat. As well as not having to drive an hour to get home. As I stated, I attended Oct 2012 and April 2013. In Oct 2012, the festival set the bar extremely high. I sent them feedback and my only "needs improvement" comment was "get an after party". Litchfield park has no night life. Capitalize on that. They didn't do any better on Friday night in April 2013. The lineup in April '13 was far better than Oct '12. But less Jazzy and more Soul. So, in April 2013, all they had to do was maintain the BEAUTIFUL experience I had Oct '12, but they fell short. here's where I was unhappy. -The Will Call line AWFUL on Friday night. I missed the entire Will Downing Concert because of it. Suggestions: Have lines based on last name. A staff person in the hotel lobby during check-in hours of 3:30 - 5:30 to hand out tickets to hotel pkg people. Separate Will call for VIP. -Drink Tickets! ANOTHER unnecessary line. Suggestions: Presale drink tickets online. And/OR Use a mobile app so folks can buy the tkts at their seats and get in line to buy drinks. -OverCrowded!! Suggestion: Reduce the Max Capacity. Get a new, larger Venue. In October 2012, people danced at their seats as there was more room. Since we were packed in there, you didn't see that very much. -Entrance to Festival Area. lines were long and the VIP line was largely empty. Suggestion: Run the entrance like the TSA does the security chk points at the airport. The TSA person checking the boarding pass/ID of the 1st class passengers ALSO checks coach-class folks when there is no 1st class person is in line. Apply that concept here too! Anyone taking tickets should never be doing nothing (excuse the double negative) when you have a long line. -Guarantee Event exclusivity the resort members scheduled an event on top of this event. I can say that many people felt there was some bias there. I'll leave that comment there. My experience in Oct 2012 was extremely pleasant. I could not imagine a festival being done better. Apr 2013 was just ok for me. The AZ Jazz Fest has my support in Oct 2013. I'm hoping they use a sensible cap this time. But I'm not sure how I will support this event in Oct 2013. I'll have to evaluate the pricing and then make my decision. Update: one thing I forgot to mention: They had more vendors this time around than in Oct 2012. That may have contributed to the lack of space. You may like it. I also didn't comment that every single act was amazing. The shows almost always ran exactly on time and finished on time. I especially love that.

The dim lighting works perfectly with the décor, and the metal entrance door gives the place a cool, slightly old-school vibe. There's plenty of parking, plus street parking, so no need to circle the block 15 times questioning your life choices. Now, the important part: the food. They have a really good variety of lunch specials at very reasonable prices. The food overall is tasty, but the pizza is definitely the star of the show. Artisan-style, full of flavor, and with a great balance between portion size and quality. The drinks are good too, with plenty of options. The restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms--which, yes, absolutely matters! And whatever you do, save room for dessert. Seriously. It's a great way to finish the meal... even if five minutes earlier you swore you were completely full. Definitely a nice find, and a place I'd visit again.

    Absolutely Delicious Came here before a show…read more Fairly busy, the parking lot is small (30 spots?) Serving 2 places, plenty of parking on the street & down the road a bit, SO WORTH IT. The Bruschetta is really light with amazing flavor, small tomatoes drizzled with balsamic, the bread is soft but sturdy enough to hold the tomato. Wings! We opted for the lemon pepper wings; perfectly crispy delicious flavor. The main course we shared the Margherita pizza! OMG, the crust is so light & buttery with fresh mozzarella, not too much sauce. Andrea's service is great, the decor & restaurant is cozy with a warm feeling. If it wasn't for the 13 school staff wanting to split each check & arguing who got what, we could've paid. I felt badly for Andrea.
