2024 Phoenix International Twilight Tattoo
Enjoy the sights and sounds of Scotland with this outdoor concert under the stars!
The military tattoo tradition evolved from 17th century Europe when a drummer or bugler would sound a call through the village, signaling the soldiers' return to barracks. The Dutch innkeepers would shout DOE DEN TAP TOE - "turn off the taps!" This phrase later became anglicized to "tap toe" and then "tattoo."
Many of the beating retreat and evening color ceremonies performed by military forces around the world share a common heritage to this origin.
Join us on Friday March 1st as our international cast exceeding 100 performers treat you to a dazzling display of drill, pageantry, and music.
Gates will open at 5 PM to enjoy pre-show entertainment, vendors, food and drink.
Tattoo performance - 7 :00 PM to 8:30 PM
Wicked Tinkers - 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM
Event Lawn & Amphitheater
The Tattoo will take place on the 5 acre Event Lawn on the grounds of our event, which can accommodate up to 5,000 people on the gently sloping lawn.
We recommend that you bring your lawn chairs or blankets to best enjoy the show - no canopies or tents, please.
Dogs on leash are welcome in the park. Please clean up as needed.
