Known to most as the Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), the holiday is to celebrate and remember those we’ve lost while preparing special food to honor them.
Here in Tucson, there are a few food-focused events, dance parties, and more to attend — some happening sooner than others. So, pay attention to dates and start planning!
Experience the vibrant energy of the Fall season with dozens of food vendors, local craftspeople, and entertainers who fill the gardens with delicious bites, handmade delights, and lively melodies. There will be craft activities available for children as well as complimentary face painting for Día de los Muertos!
Tickets are $20 per person and $5 if you’re a Tohono Chul member.
The vibrant tradition of Dia de Los Muertos is upon us, and what better way to honor our dearly departed than to celebrate life, culture, and charity at the second annual Day of The Bread event? For just $50 per ticket, you’ll gain admission to the event along with three complimentary drink tickets, and access to recipe tastings and bread samples from some of Tucson’s top bakers.
