Downtown Streets Illuminated

The DTP, with the generous support of the City of Tucson and Pima County, is once again tight wrapping 145 downtown trees in bright white LED lights. The lights add beauty and a sense of safety to the main arteries of downtown. This is part of DTP's larger Desert Nights Downtown Lights cross-promotional campaign. Learn more here.

Time to Install Your Building Lights

The holidays may seem far away, but they are just around the corner. Now is the time for downtown property owners to start thinking about holiday decorations for their buildings. DTP makes it easy and economical for property owners and businesses through the Building Illumination Program. If you're a property owner or manager click here to learn more.

Take the Community Perceptions Survey

DTP needs your help to assess the perceptions of Downtown Tucson through a lens of diversity, equity and inclusion. Please take a short 5-7 minute anonymous survey. As a thank you, you will be given an opportunity to enter your email (optional) at the end of the survey for a chance to win a $100 Downtown Tucson Gift Card. Take the survey by clicking here.

Exclusive Partnership Now Available

Fund this year’s "Building a Downtown Tucson for Everyone" grant program through an exclusive partnership with DTP! Grant dollars will be used to award programs, lectures and events that demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and reach communities not traditionally served by DTP. Contact us for more information.

DTP Partners with Children's Museum & Caterpillar

Light poles and parking meters got a fresh coat of paint on 6th Avenue between 12th and 13th Streets last week. Caterpillar employees hailing from Australia, Germany, Brazil, Colorado, Texas, and Illinois donated their time to help beautify this corridor! Thank you to the Children’s Museum Tucson for leading this effort.
