Where to Eat During HOCO Fest & Tucson Comic-Con (GUIDE)


August 28, 2023

We tend to say it a lot but there really is a lot happening in Tucson.

Take Labor Day weekend for example. HOCO Fest, a three-day music festival, is hosting its 18th and final bash on Friday, September 1 – Monday, September 4, and then Tucson Comic-Con is happening on Friday, September 1 – Sunday, September 3 at the Tucson Convention Center.

Long story short, you’re bound to get awfully hungry while attending one of both of these events throughout the weekend. Check out our new interactive guide to map out your culinary adventure (the big, red button will lead you there).

This year is HOCO Fest’s last hurrah and will feature 60 bands, six venues, a film fest, a record fair, an art show, and daytime parties. You can purchase a Full Fest Pass or individual show tickets online now — don’t miss out on the festival’s final year.

Over at the Tucson Convention Center, thousands of nerds, geeks, and huge fans of art, film, and more will flock into one space over the span of three days. Special guests like the Yellow Ranger from “Power Rangers Turbo” and the son of Dungeons & Dragons’ co-creator will be on-site. Plus, Michael Biehn from 1984’s “The Terminator” will be there — mostly known as Sgt. Kyle Reese in the film. You’ll want to get your tickets soon for that as well.
