At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, February 26, the team behind Blax Friday is bringing back Soul Food Wednesdays to downtown Tucson.
Over the years, the local event has popped up in different spots around town, like the MSA Annex and Hot Congress, and this time they’re setting up on Playground’s rooftop, at 278 E. Congress St.
