Tucson Halloween Activities and Events
For many, dressing themselves and their homes for Halloween are some of the most exciting activities of the year. For instance, homes become haunted houses, yards become makeshift graves (thanks to props), sugary goodies are dispersed to the wee ones and parties are thrown to entertain the masses--all while disguised in costume. So as we wait for the return of this year’s ghouls and goblins, let’s see what other themed events are popping up around Tucson.
Day of the Dead Exhibit at La Pilita Museum
Otherwise known as All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, Day of the Dead (or Diá de los Muertos) is a Mexican holiday occurring on Nov. 1 and 2 in which people celebrate loved ones who have passed away, typically gathering with family and friends to pray and many times to build private shrines or altars.
Tucson Bed and Breakfasts
Lavish, big-name resorts are always a treat, but what about when you want a romantic and unique weekend away from the kids without a long road trip or flight? Tucson is packed with quaint and luxurious bed and breakfasts, making it a perfect getaway treat without all the travel time and high resort prices.
Historic Rialto Theatre
The historic Rialto Theatre in Downtown anchors Tucson’s rich arts heritage. Along with the neighboring Hotel Congress, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
Tucson Blues Festival
For those who may not be privy to the blues news, the Southern Arizona Blues Heritage Foundation (SABHF), located in Tucson, is gearing up for its annual blues festival. Each year, this local nonprofit and its group of volunteers put together an all-day concert in Reid Park.
