Calling all eaters, drinkers, and readers who love a good time, the 18th annual Best of Phoenix A'fare is going down this Saturday night at the Arizona Biltmore. The party starts at 8 p.m. (7 if you snag VIP tickets) and will roll until 11. There will be food, booze, and entertainment.

Foodwise, we're talking more than 40 vendors from local restaurants. For the price of entry, you get limitless samples of food. Admission will also score you 12 drink vouchers.

Yep, one drink voucher equals one drink. (Ping an Uber or Lyft for the ride home.)

Entertainment will be on the superstitious side in keeping with this year's Best of Phoenix theme. We'll have tarot card readers, psychics, and clairvoyants. A DJ will be energizing the dance floor with tunes.

General admission ($45) and VIP ($65) tickets are available online.
