The Phoenician Presents the Second Annual

THE CURSE OF CAMELBACK

A Halloween Weekend, October 29 – November 1, 2026

This Halloween, a mysterious fog has crept down from Camelback Mountain, transforming The Phoenician into a haunted haven of luxury and lore. Each venue has been cursed – warped into eerie versions of themselves, where whispers echo through the halls and shadows dance in candlelight. Guests are invited to indulge in spine-chilling sophistication as they dine, drink, and explore the haunted heart of the desert. Only those brave enough to embrace the curse will uncover its secrets… and perhaps break it!
