This week
❤️ Hearts for Wishes: Southern Arizona Breakfast @ El Conquistador Tucson, A Hilton Resort | Wednesday (10/22) at 8:00am – Enjoy a complimentary breakfast that comes with inspiration, not a sales pitch. Fill up in the ballroom, hear real stories from local wish kids, and help Make-A-Wish turn tough moments into turning points. Come hungry, leave hopeful, and maybe a little generous.
🌸 Boo-tiful Blooms, Bites & Booze @ DiBella’s Brunch N’ Booze | Wednesday (10/22) at 5:30pm – Build a fall-ready silk arrangement that outlasts pumpkin season, with Malama ia Floral Design at DiBella’s Brunch & Booze. Supplies are included, bites and booze for purchase, and you leave with a centerpiece that looks fresh, lasts forever, and never needs watering. Bring a friend.
🎃 Boo at the Zoo @ Reid Park Zoo | Thursday (10/23) at 6:00pm – Round up your pint-sized goblins, your too-cool teens, and that neighbor with the themed sweater, then wander Reid Park Zoo for Tucson’s favorite not too frightful Halloween. Costumes encouraged, jump scares not. Timed entry keeps it civilized, buy ahead, proceeds support the animals.
🏞️ Santa Cruz River History Tour @ Mission Garden | Friday (10/24) at 9:00am – Stretch your legs and your Tucson trivia on a 2-mile, 2-hour stroll from Mission Garden, tracing the Santa Cruz River’s rise and fall. A former Spanish mission site, an O’odham village site, Tucson’s tallest tree, and Felix Lucero’s Garden of Gethsemane await. Register ahead, obviously.
🧶 Fiber Arts Tucson @ St. Francis in the Foothills | Friday (10/24) at 11:00am – Think you know your warp from your weft? This free, two-day fiber fest brings an exhibition, demos of spinning, weaving, and knitting, hands-on tries, and a marketplace of guild-made goods from the Tucson Handweavers and Spinners Guild, before winter visitors arrive.
This weekend
🧵 Immaculate Heart Academy Craft Fair| Saturday (10/25) at 9:00am – This Immaculate Heart Academy craft fair gathers local makers with handmade gifts, one-of-a-kind finds, and stuff you’ll gift without sheepish apologies. Wander table to table, chat with neighbors, and begin holiday shopping before panic sets in, enjoying company, fair prices, and zero mall parking drama.
⚾ The Mysteries of Fort Lowell and Baseball @ Fort Lowell Museum | Saturday (10/25) at 10:00am – Craving a little scandal with your seventh-inning stretch? Hear how 1900 newspapers swore Fort Lowell was haunted, poke through unsolved crimes, and the Black Sox scandal, then cleanse your palate with 1860s vintage base ball, courtesy of the Arizona Vintage Base Ball League.
🍽️ Oro Valley Fall Foodie & Arts Festival @ Oro Valley Marketplace | Saturday (10/25) at 10:00am – Head to Oro Valley Marketplace for a mashup of art, eats, and actual parking. Browse 135+ artisan booths, hit Tucson Foodie’s food truck lineup, and sip in the beer and wine garden while the kids craft and trick-or-treat, as a 20-foot pumpkin handles photo ops.
🎗️ Amistad y Salud 11th Annual Gala for Clínica Amistad @ El Conquistador Tucson, A Hilton Resort | Saturday (10/25) at 5:30pm – Put on something snazzy and let gourmet bites, live music, and an irresistible wine pull. This is the feel-good kind of fundraiser where every clink of the glass helps make healthcare a right, and keeps Clínica Amistad open for neighbors.
🍺 Orchid Paint and Sip @ Oro Valley Pizza & Pints | Sunday (10/26) at 1:30pm – Think your stick figures deserve a promotion? Swap yardwork for an indoor paint and sip at OV Pizza & Pints, with pizza, flatbreads, a beer and wine lineup, all supplies included, instruction, free parking, and an orchid masterpiece to take home.
