TUCSON EVENTS – TUCSON EVENT CALENDAR
Although Tucson events do not seem to be as numerous as in a number of other American cities, there is still something to suit everyone from the cowboys to the Indians, those who love art to those who are more interested in sport.
COWBOYS AND INDIANS IN FEBRUARY
Making up a large part of the Tucson events calendar in February are events related to cowboys and Indians. These include the American Indian Exposition, the Cowboy Traditions Festival, Southwest Indian Art Fair and Cochise Cowboy Poetry and Music Gathering.
The American Indian Exposition is an official event of the Tucson Gem, Mineral and Fossil Showcase where Indian arts, crafts and foods are on exhibition by Native Americans.
The Cochise Cowboy Poetry and Music Gathering celebrates Western culture and tradition in song and poetry.
ACCENTURE MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP
The Accenture Match Play Championship is a golfing championship held over five days. This is also a charity event that benefits a number of local and regional charities. So if you enjoy golf and want to help contribute to charity then why not come along to the Accenture Match Play Championship.
TUCSON RODEO PARADE
One of the older Tucson events is the Tucson Rodeo Parade which has been presented since 1925. This is a horse-drawn parade that starts at 9am and makes its way through a number of Tucson streets before making its way to the Tucson Rodeo Grounds. This event takes place in February.
TUCSON GEM, MINERAL AND FOSSIL SHOWCASE
Another of the Tucson events held in February is the Tucson Gem, Mineral and Fossil Showcase which is the largest market of its sort covering precious gems, minerals, fossils, beads, jewellery, and jewellery-making materials.
TUCSON SPORTING EVENTS
In addition to these Tucson events, there are also a number of sporting events that are held at different times of the year including baseball and cycling in particular.
TUCSON MUSICAL EVENTS
There are also a number of musical events in Tucson each year from the annual celebration of women in Jazz to the Tucson Winter Chamber Music Festival, Tubac Jazz and Blues festival, Pops Concert, and Tucson Folk Music Festival.
ARIZONA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
Another of the events on the Tucson Events Calendar is the Arizona International Film Festival which is held in April and features a broad range of films as well as the opportunity to meet the filmmakers and attend workshops, seminars and presentations.
