It’s time to party for the well-being of the third rock from the Sun.
Party for the Planet at Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum will feature craft beer and wine from 6 – 10 p.m. on Saturday, May 19.
This year’s theme is celebrating Endangered Species Day, and what better way to show your support than to toast it with some of the tastiest local and regional spirits in the southwest.
While you sip, you’ll have the pleasure of visiting the animals, discover what the Museum has to offer, and why its mission to protect and inspire love for the Sonoran desert matters.
Tickets are $35 for the Advance General Admission, $30 for Museum Members, $40 on the day of the event, and $20 for designated drivers.
This is a 21 and over event and each ticket, except for designated drivers, includes 15 beer and wine samples with a commemorative sampling glass.

Matt Sterner
More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
