The calendar says fall, and that’s good enough for us.
September is here, and while Arizona may not be ready to give us sweater weather just yet, we’re ready for a new season and a reason to get out and explore.
Dinner, live music and something sweet to end the night? Consider your plans made. All you have to do is pick your stops and grab your favorite people.
First Things First: Dinner
A good night out starts with good food. Lucky for you, there are plenty of ways to kick off the evening in Surprise.
Osteria Mia
Craving Italian? Osteria Mia brings the cozy vibes with pizza, pasta and plenty of dishes made for sharing. Add a glass of wine and your night is officially off to a good start.
Firebirds Wood Fired Grill
If steak, seafood and wood-fired favorites are calling your name, Firebirds is the move. It’s a great spot to settle in for dinner before heading out for the evening.
Ugly Tuna Sushi
Sushi night, anyone? From specialty rolls to sashimi and shareable favorites, Ugly Tuna Sushi is an easy pick when you want to keep things fun and casual.

Pick your craving, make the reservation and then…it’s showtime.
Now for the Main Event 🎶
September is bringing live music to Surprise, with two chances to add a little entertainment to your night out.
LIVE at Asante: The Thomas James Band | September 17 | 6:30 p.m.
Bring the lawn chairs and enjoy an evening outside with The Thomas James Band at LIVE at Asante. With live music and a laid-back atmosphere, this is an easy way to spend a September evening with your crew.
Pro tip: Grab dinner beforehand and turn a free concert into a full night out.

Sons of Serendip | September 26 | 7 p.m.
Ready to switch up your usual Saturday night?
Sons of Serendip takes the stage at The Vista Center for the Arts on September 26, bringing their signature mix of vocals, harp, piano and cello to Surprise.
This one deserves the full dinner-and-a-show treatment. Pick your restaurant, enjoy the performance and don't head home just yet...

Because Obviously, We Need Dessert
No night-out is complete without something sweet.
The Original Rainbow Cone
You know the cone. Five colorful layers, one seriously Instagram-worthy dessert. A Chicago classic, the Rainbow Cone stacks Chocolate, Strawberry, Palmer House, Pistachio Almond and Orange Sherbet into its signature sliced, not scooped cone. Colorful, nostalgic and definitely worth saving room for.

La Michoacana
Paletas, ice cream and fruit-filled favorites make this the perfect stop when you're craving something refreshing.

Yogurtini
Build it your way. Pick your froyo, load up the toppings and try not to get carried away at the topping bar. Or do. We don't judge.
