It’s never too early to start holiday shopping for your family and friends.
Tohono Chul Park is hosting “Stroll N’ Shop” — a four-day market featuring several local vendors — from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Thursday, October 22 – Sunday, October 25.
This year, the pandemic has disrupted the park’s original plans to host events like their fall concert series, “Chiles and Chocolate”, and “Holiday Nights”, but now they feel it’s about time to get outside and reconnect with the community.
Therefore, Stroll N’ Shop couldn’t have come at a better time.
Aside from all of the great buys spread out around the park, the experience allows visitors to explore the grounds, check out the latest installation in the Exhibit House, grab a bite to eat at the Garden Bistro, stop by the Greenhouse, and more.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
