Western Fire Garden

On view Nov. 6–15

Walter Productions | Phoenix, Arizona

Western Fire Garden brings the desert experience to life through the sights and sounds of Arizona-native flora and fauna. This installation consists of sculptural representations of local plant life, such as saguaro cactus, agave, and barrel cactus, and silhouettes of desert wildlife like coyotes, javelinas, roadrunners, and rabbits. Once the sun sets, this surreal floating desert garden comes to life with light and sound, as LED outlines spread across the sculptures and the sounds of the desert echo along the canal banks.

As the night continues, Western Fire Garden transforms from a serene, glowing garden into an explosive fire display, with blasts shooting up to 20 feet into the air. Each fire show is choreographed live and set to music, making every performance a unique experience.

Fire shows happen every night at Canal Convergence at 6:30, 7:30, and 8:30 p.m.
