Raise the Rooftop, presented by Tiffany & Bosco, P.A., and Great American Title Agency, Inc., is set to be a one-of-a-kind interactive concert party experience befitting its Old Town Scottsdale location.

The new event benefiting Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale is from 6:30 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, from 6:30 to 10 p.m. on the top level of the Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall parking structure across from Toca Madera at Fashion Square Drive and Goldwater Boulevard, according to a press release.

General admission passes cost $200 each and will include a variety of food and cocktail tastings from local restaurants and beverage vendors and feature live entertainment with AZ Dueling Pianos and rising country star Austin Burke. There will also be casino tables with blackjack, roulette and craps as well as raffles and other ways to support the youth development organization, the release states.

“Our guests can park in the lower level and take the elevator up to find the space overlooking Camelback Mountain transformed into an intimate nightclub concert venue, complete with a high-end VIP experience for sponsors and their guests,” said Lyric Naquin, BGCS chief development officer. “We hope all who attend will have a night to remember and the great feeling of knowing they have helped kids right here in our community.”

Raise the Rooftop is the reimagined annual BGCS fall outdoor food and beverage tasting event called Live & Local.

“It was time to shake things up a bit, and we wanted to put a larger focus on our entertainment and the main stage where we could highlight our impact on youth and teens in the community,” Ms. Naquin said. “Everyone loved the variety of the tastes and sips offered by local restaurants, so we wanted to keep that aspect with our continued partnership with the Arizona Restaurant Association.”

The headliner, singer/songwriter Austin Burke, a fifth-generation native of Scottsdale, recently released his EP “Changed Everything.” He has opened for high-profile artists including Dierks Bentley and Vince Gill and has performed at Country Thunder and other well-known country music festivals.
