Villa Dolce Vita | European Summer Affair | Benefiting PHX Children's

Benefiting Phoenix Children’s

Your summer starts here.

Maybe the group chat never booked the Europe trip. Maybe last summer came and went a little too fast. So this year, we’re bringing European summer to Scottsdale.

On May 8th, Villa Dolce Vita transforms an entire Scottsdale golf course into a one-night European Summer Affair — inspired by the elegance of the Riviera and the playful energy of a Mediterranean celebration.

Expect an immersive open-air experience filled with music, roaming performers, incredible cocktails, and vibrant activations around every corner. With two stages, 10 DJs, and five hours of music, guests will dance beneath the desert sky while stepping into a world that feels straight out of the Amalfi Coast.

From complimentary European-inspired treats to whimsical performances and interactive moments, Villa Dolce Vita is designed to be explored.

And the best part — every drink purchased throughout the evening supports Phoenix Children’s, helping provide hope, healing, and world-class care for children and families across Arizona.

This is more than a party.

It’s the start of summer.
