Join us for BeaverFest 2026, a family-friendly event that continues the Beavers & Brews tradition of celebrating the world of beavers and river restoration. This year’s event is for kids of all ages and will feature beaver-themed entertainment, games, learning activities, food, beverages, and beaver-themed tees and other merch. Learn about the great progress Watershed and partners have made in our Release the Beavers campaign and what you can do to continue to help restore our wetlands. 

Grab dinner from The Curry Pot and Bashful Bandit food trucks (vegetarian, vegan, and non-veggie options available) and enjoy refreshments, including non-alcoholic options and beaver-themed cocktails. This is a night not to miss at Watershed’s hydro-local Living Lab, so bring your whole family, friends, and neighbors to help build our beaver believer community.

Opened in 2023, @kabulcorner is Tucson’s only Afghan restaurant, created to provide jobs, community, and a taste of home for Afghan families who made Tucson their new home. Today, Sediq Haidari and his family serve traditional Afghan dishes like bolani, mantou, Kabuli palaw, fresh tandoori naan, and house-made chaka, while preserving recipes and traditions rooted in Afghanistan’s rich history. With its warm hospitality, authentic food, and strong sense of community, Kabul Corner has become a little piece of home in the Sonoran Desert. ❤️ “These dishes are famous not only in Afghanistan, but in neighboring countries like Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Iran, and even parts of China. It sits right between Indian and Arabic food.” Sediq Haidari Read @sea_lyon’s article on Tucsonfoodie.com Photos by @sea_lyon #tucsonfoodie #tucsonfoodOpened in 2023, @kabulcorner is Tucson’s only Afghan restaurant, created to provide jobs, community, and a taste of home for Afghan families who made Tucson their new home.
