Tucson Features

That’s right, you guessed it—The Tucson Culinary Festival is back and better than ever. Embarking on its seventh year, this foodie fest will begin this Thursday, so we suggest going easy on the heavy fare and desserts until then. Trust us, you’re going to want to start saving room now.

Tucson’s Gadabout SalonSpas sure have come a long way since 1979. To celebrate their 30-year anniversary, Gadabout held the “Gadagirls” contest, the winners of which were recently announced after months of selections and voting. Not only did they find three lucky ladies to represent the Gadabout brand, but three well-deserving community organizations will benefit from the results as well.

It’s that time of the year again when all the cats are back in the cage and ready for the fall season. No need to be a student to enjoy the University of Arizona’s many affairs and Pac 10 sports event, check out what’s in store for Wildcat fans and students.

Tucson may be a smaller city when compared to its northern neighbor, but its unmatched color and personality have made it a desert favorite and well-known border city. "The Old Pueblo” is home to the revered University of Arizona, the beautiful Catalina Foothills, the eccentric 4th Avenue and is the second largest city in Arizona. Its residents are proud and patriotic and have gathered together to pay homage to their great city’s birthday, taking place on August 20, with fun-filled events and free giveaways. Long live Tucson!
