For those who want to experience the MLB’s Cactus League spring training at Scottsdale’s Salt River Fields—home of both the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies—but take it up a notch, the Cantina at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick experience is back for its 15th year.

Hosted once again by the Executive Council 70 (EC70), a local nonprofit dedicated to helping the community’s youth, Cantina’s all-inclusive food and drink event (a complimentary buffet lunch with soda and bottled water and a hosted bar with beer, wine, and cocktails) offers private shaded viewing decks for guests to watch 10 select baseball games, with all proceeds going to EC70’s nonprofit Executive Council Charities to support local youth charity programs.

“EC70 was formed to help at-risk kids throughout the Valley by hosting fundraising events like Cantina,” says EC70’s 2025 Cantina chairman Justin Hodge. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring back this exciting viewing experience to the Diamondbacks’ spring training stadium while giving back to the local youth community.”

EC70 will host Cantina at the following games:
Cantina tickets are $165 for each game and individual. Groups or businesses with over 20 people attending will get discounted tickets. Tickets sold in 50 or more increments will have their own private space.
The earnings from Cantina benefit over 100 local charities throughout Arizona. Formed in 1972, EC70 has 70 active and 300 life members who are dedicated to helping the local community. They have raised more than $12 million in just the last five years.
