It’s that time of year to let freedom ring.
To some, that means lighting several fireworks into the night sky, firing up the barbecue grill in someone’s backyard, and enjoying good times with family and friends. However, others prefer to get out and stuff their faces with local cuisine and craft beer.
A few places in the city are offering fun for adults, a family-friendly entertainment, special offers on meals, and perfect spots to enjoy the fireworks that are set to blast off from the top of Sentinel Peak.
Check out these local spots to celebrate Fourth of July in Tucson.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
