One of the best things about the fall season is that we are no longer desperately trying to fit into that smaller sized bathing suit for weekend pool parties—instead, fun events involving food, food and more food abound.

This weekend, be sure to attend the Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance’s Food, Art & Wine Festival, in which you’ll have the opportunity to indulge in more ways than one.

Italy is one of the most romantic vacation spots on the planet—granted, you may not have the extra time to plan a dream vacation this fall, but you can take a weekend night to attend the Tucson Medical Center Foundation’s A Night in Italy.

Hundreds of merchants will converge at the 2009 SAHBA Home & Garden Show, Oct. 9-11 at the Tuscon Convention Center.

The addition of seminars, food and live entertainment make for a weekend outing the entire family can enjoy.
