Nowadays, there is a holiday for everything. Friday, May 20 happens to be NASCAR Day, National Pick Strawberries Day, and heck, it’s even Cher’s birthday. Do you believe in life after love? It’s a tricky thing to consider, but we’ve got something else you can set your focus on instead.

In Tucson, we’re celebrating 520 Day (you know, because it’s our area code), and here are some fun events happening this year on Saturday, May 20.

520 Day Party at Pueblo Vida Brewing Company

The downtown brewery is celebrating Tucson on all day 520 Day with some delicious Tucson treats. One of those delights is the new beer release — 520 Hazy IPA. With any four-pack purchase of the 520 Hazy IPA you’ll score a free beer can magnet (while supplies last).

Plus, they’ll have a limited-release shirt collaboration with Why I Love Where I Live, Tucson-inspired egg rolls by Eggroll Masters from 3 – 8 p.m., Tucson-made treats by [POPPED] Artisan Popcorn and Dirty T Tamarindo, and more special edition 520 merchandise.
