About Guild of the Vale
Step into the Guild of the Vale and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported back in time – this historic building looks like a castle on the outside, and has a 1,400 sq. ft. fast wood floor and a stage on the inside. The vintage feel is truly unforgettable! The venue is still in the same historic building it has always been in, but with a new name.
Food and Drinks
Bring your own or bottled water is $1 at the door.
Air Conditioning

Parking
Parking is plentiful, free, and located all around the property, in the middle of a quiet, little neighborhood.
🔥 Summer Swing Fest is during the Arizona Summer 🔥
It gets REALLY HOT – it’s Arizona after all – especially during the summer, so please do everyone a favor: Bring deodorant, extra shirts to change into, a sweat towel, etc.
