The week feels a bit light on events, we’ll blame it on the topsy-turvy weather. There’s still a variety of things to do, though, such as a honey tasting next Wednesday, a Lucha Libre-themed cooking and gardening class on Saturday, and a Spanish Wine Dinner at Zio Peppe on Tuesday. It’s a good time to be a Tucsonan.
Don’t forget, you can always check out our Things to Do section on the website to check out what’s going on any day of the week.
