About Discover The Phoenix Region Magazine

Welcome to Discover The Phoenix Region Magazine, your bi-monthly passport to the soul of Arizona’s greater Phoenix area—a land where desert sunsets ignite red-rock horizons and urban energy pulses alongside timeless natural wonders. Since our digital launch in 2008, we’ve cultivated a devoted community of readers who turn to us every other month for a deep, authentic dive into the region’s vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and the stories that bind them. Through our thoughtfully curated print editions and ever-evolving online hub at DiscovertheRegion.com, we deliver a multi-media experience that’s as dynamic and diverse as the Valley itself.

Our roots trace back to a bold vision: to create a platform that celebrates the Phoenix region’s heartbeat—its local artists, trailblazing businesses, breathtaking photography, and iconic attractions. DiscovertheRegion.com debuted as that showcase, steadily growing its following by offering an unfiltered lens on the area’s charm and character. In 2009, we took that vision to the next level with our first print edition, pairing the immediacy of digital with the tactile joy of a magazine you can hold, savor, and share. Today, as a bi-monthly publication, we’ve refined our rhythm to bring you fresh, in-depth features six times a year, each issue a love letter to the region’s past, present, and boundless future.

Nestled at the edge of the Sonoran Desert, the Phoenix region is a tapestry of contrasts—where the bustling metropolis meets the rugged allure of places like the Verde Valley, home to cinematic gems like Sedona and Jerome. Once dubbed “Little Hollywood” for its role in over 100 films, this area has long drawn dreamers and doers, from cowboys to creatives, leaving echoes of their legacies in the canyons and streets we explore. At Discover The Phoenix Region, we’re storytellers with a mission: to uncover these tales and more. Whether it’s tracing the footsteps of Hollywood icons like Max Ernst, who painted Sedona’s vistas before seeing them, or spotlighting modern visionaries like Maynard James Keenan, who’s turned the Valley into a canvas for music and wine, we connect you to the people and places that make this region extraordinary.

We’re here for the curious—whether you’re a lifelong Arizonan, a seasonal snowbird, or a traveler passing through. Our pages and pixels brim with insider guides to culinary hotspots, cultural landmarks, and hidden gems, from the Verde Valley’s award-winning wineries to Phoenix’s thriving arts scene. We revel in the details: the scent of mesquite in the air, the glow of a monsoon sunset, the grit and grace of a community that’s as resilient as it is welcoming. Each bi-monthly issue invites you to experience the Phoenix region anew—through stunning visuals, compelling narratives, and practical tips that inspire you to explore it all firsthand.

Discover The Phoenix Region Magazine isn’t just about observation—it’s about connection. We’ve evolved with our readers, leaving behind fleeting trends (like our old smartphone app) to focus on what lasts: quality storytelling and a genuine reflection of this desert metropolis and its surrounding wonders. From the urban pulse of downtown Phoenix to the surreal beauty of Sedona’s red rocks, we’re your companion in discovering—and rediscovering—the magic that defines this corner of the Southwest. Join us every two months as we celebrate a region that’s as captivating as it is complex, one unforgettable story at a time.
