VIP check-in starts at 11:30 a.m. at the Beer Garden on Fifth Avenue (55 N. 5th Ave.), 12:30 p.m. for general admission. Bring your ID and printed tickets to receive your wristband, map, and 5-ounce sampling glass.

General admission tickets are $40 online while supplies last, $40 afterwards. VIP tickets, which include early admission, a food voucher, and beer cocktail samples at the VIP bar, are $70. Tickets are another $5 if you wait until the day of the event, if there are tickets left.

Early bird tickets already sold out, while the 2015 and 2016 events completely sold out, so make sure to buy your tickets as soon as possible.

While rain is possible Saturday afternoon, five venues are indoors and the remaining four will be tented.

Tucson’s resorts offer some of the region’s most memorable dining, from Sonoran-inspired steakhouses to poolside grills with mountain views. Whether you’re staying overnight or stopping in for dinner, these properties make the meal part of the experience.

Additionally, the variety across these resorts featured here spans far beyond a single style of dining. Guests can settle into a fine-dining room overlooking the Santa Catalinas, grab tacos by the pool, or join a chef-led cooking class before dinner. Each property brings its own take on desert hospitality, so this guide breaks down where to eat and what makes each spot worth the trip.🧳🌞

@Thedistrict520 has taken over a Tucson address with nearly two decades of history. 

Once home to Pastiche, the space sat dark and gutted for two years after a difficult chapter that left the building severely damaged. Now, longtime Pastiche regulars Gabriel Cordova and Tracy Hien have brought 3025 N. Campbell Ave. back to life.

The result is something entirely new: a sports bar with nine 4K screens, shuffleboard, a pool table, and a scratch-cooking approach to burgers, wings, shrimp, and more.

From rebuilding the space themselves to receiving the blessing of Pastiche owner Pat Connors’ widow, Julie, the story behind The District is about more than opening a restaurant. It is about giving a wounded neighborhood landmark another chapter.
