Tucson Events

Back for this vibrant, mega-local, one-day only outdoor event is the fall version of the 300 artist-strong

Made in Tucson Market!

Started in 2018 by the Historic 4th Ave. Coalition to help highlight Tucson’s longstanding avenue of small businesses surrounded by historic neighborhoods, the Made in Tucson Market is THE place for handcrafted items and art—all made right here in Tucson. Originally started with only 50 artists, the all volunteer-run market will feature dozens of tents where you can meet, greet, and purchase directly from the makers themselves. With affordable booth costs, the Made in Tucson Market presents a diverse and exciting group of artisans with 100% of money collected going directly back into the historic district to continue to improve this important heart of our city.

The fall version of this bi-annual fair will feature several local food trucks and a spot to rest and sip a beverage or have a delicious bite. Look for local musicians to serenade the day and an array of special promotions and children’s activities throughout the market. Held within a two-block area, the accessible and sustainable market (bring your own water bottles to fill up at our water stations!) makes it a perfect outing for everyone.  From cookies to crockery, handmade cards to collectible art, bracelets to bronzes, scrubs to sculpture, find fresh ideas with a local handprint.

Maybe it’s the light or the healing desert air, but Tucson has long been heralded as a place with a wide-ranging and generous creative community. Here’s your opportunity to connect and experience true local flavor. Support your community and makers as well as the thriving historic 4^th Avenue district that showcases Tucson as one of the great cities for art and artists—and living— in the great Southwest.
