This Labor Day Weekend, ditch the backyard grill and swimming pool to help celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of Tucson’s favorite bars and music venues.

Club Congress, located inside the historic Hotel Congress, is kicking off their thirtieth-anniversary celebration by taking the hotel’s annual HoCo Fest to the next level. They have enlisted the help of Four Peaks Brewing Company and Roger Clyne’s Mexican Moonshine Tequila to pull off “the greatest indoor/outdoor music festival in Tucson”, and we would expect nothing less.

They have booked over 40 musical acts, a dozen Tucson reunion shows, internationally-renowned acts from London to Mexico City, taco and BBQ parties each day, and the first ever Tucson Rock ‘n’ Roll Museum hosted in the lobby and Copper Hall.
