The unique gathering known as DUSK Music Festival is returning to Tucson, Arizona, taking place November 9th and 10th at Jácome Plaza. This two-day event features 40 artists on three stages. Touted as an eclectic, immersive weekend, DUSK will be full of art, food, and musical wonder.

Tucson FEASTS is all about Tucson food. Food trucks, restaurants, and chefs will highlight the city’s creative cuisine, so come hungry and ready to eat.

Tucson ARTS features the University of Arizona’s School of Art, 3D, and Extended Media. Students, faculty members, and other artists are responsible for creating the art, exhibits, and sculptures you’ll see throughout the festy.

Lastly, Tucson PLAY offers a reprieve from the music. There’ll be backyard games like corn hole and Jenga, as well as video and arcade games for your amusement.
