The 2nd Annual Phoenix Independents Bowl is a celebration of Phoenix’s independent culture. On Saturday November 21st, dozens of teams comprised of Phoenix’s best independent bands, independent businesses, and independent minded citizens will compete in a bowling tournament for the ages. They will come together to celebrate the great strives and growth the independent community in Phoenix has seen in resent years. The Phoenix Independents Bowl will be held at The Sunset Bowl on 12th St and Dunlap, one of the last remaining independently owned bowling centers in Arizona.

A main goal of The Phoenix Independents Bowl is to highlight the interconnected nature of local artistic communities and local economies and to strengthen relationships between those who care about both. It is in the spirit of this goal that the proceeds of The Phoenix Independents Bowl will benefit Local First Arizona and their work to strengthen communities and local economies through supporting, maintaining, and celebrating locally owned business through out the state of Arizona.

The Phoenix Independents Bowl was a huge success! We had 46 teams bowl with some of the best bands and business in town. Congratulations to Desert Living Magazine for coming in at First Place.

I would thank everyone who helped make this a success. Big thanks to everyone at The Sunset Bowl, they were a great host. I would list everyone who helped but their are far to many people who helped make this event work.
