Foodie Events from June 1 – 7: Cocktails, Vegan Night & More

May 31, 20234 min read

A new month brings new things to do! You’re in for a treat this week: Tucson Foodie is presenting not one, but two events.

Join us for a Summer Cocktail Party at Obon and sample 15+ cocktails and different libations. If you’re looking for something a bit more wholesome, our first-ever Vegan Night is taking place on Saturday at Owls Club. Westbound turns five on Doughnut Day (Friday), and like always, there’s some yoga to help undo all the eating/drinking you may have done.

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.

Where to eat & drink at the Mercado District in 2026✨

@Mercadodistricttucson sits at the westernmost stop of the Sun Link streetcar, about a mile from downtown. The district now spans four properties: the Spanish colonial-style Mercado San Agustín, the shipping container-based MSA Annex, The Monier, and The Bautista, a mixed-use development under construction at 165 S. Linda Ave. The Bautista will add a public plaza, underground parking, and additional commercial space along the Santa Cruz River.

Both courtyards allow dogs on leash and operate as open-air spaces with shared seating throughout. A leisurely visit easily spans multiple stops.

@Seiscantina has permanently closed its Joesler Village location at 1765 E. River Rd., the Muñoz family announced today.

Three Seis Kitchen locations remain open at Tanque Verde Road, Oro Valley, and Mercado San Agustín. The family says guests can still find their favorite dishes and familiar faces at the remaining locations. 

“It is with heavy hearts that we share some bittersweet news. After much reflection, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close our Joesler Village newly rebranded Cantina Location. Saying goodbye to the regular guests who became faces we looked forward to seeing every week, we are truly sorry that we cannot continue serving you here. You turned a simple dining room into a vibrant community gathering place, and for that, we will be forever grateful.”
