Tucson’s new Modern Streetcar officially opens to the public July 25th. With free rides offered through July 27th and plenty of places to eat and drink, the weekend should prove to be a celebration of epic and historic proportions.
Many of the merchants along the streetcar line including downtown, Fourth Avenue, Main Gate Square, and Mercado San Agustín are participating in a summer discount card program called Connect In The City. This card is good all summer long and has no limits on the number of times you use it. It’s also not a happy accident that the card is timed to coincide with the Streetcar launch.
It’s not only Connect in the City participants downtown, however. Included below is every food and drink related business or event along the streetcar line (or near it) to celebrate the weekend at. This will be a perfect opportunity to hop around and check out everything that’s making downtown Tucson such an exciting place to be. If we’ve left one out, please let us know and we’ll add it. We’ll be updating this page as businesses add or update deals.
If you’re interested in what’s in store for the weekend other than food and drink, head on over to the Street Car Friends events page for the full listing of sponsors and events.
