I’m so excited for this weekend! I’m heading down to Tucson for a bachelorette party, and I always have a good time in the Old Pueblo. 

It’ll be a quick trip, so I won’t see much, but I’m heading back in a few weeks for the Tucson Festival of Books. A few new bars have opened since I last visited (see today’s “3 Arizona Stories You May ❤️” section!), and I’m looking forward to trying some new spots. 

If you’re looking for plans this weekend, here are a bunch of events, plus a map!
