Hello downtown friends -
Downtown Tucson celebrates Pride all year long, but in June we celebrate with even more Pride events to enjoy throughout the month. Read below for more information. Downtown is also hosting a plethora of family-friendly activities like Summer Saturday Nights at the Presidio Museum and a movie series at the Fox. Tucson Foodie is offering something special for our Vegan friends at the Vegan Night Market happening this Saturday night at the Owls Club. While you're there, support local creative businesses and try some tasty vegan food and drink. And finally, we'd like to extend a special thank you to all of the downtown businesses who are providing much-needed heat respite to our dedicated team of ambassadors, as they work through the extreme temperatures of summer.
See you downtown,
