Mexican culture has been part of Tucson from the very beginning. South-of-the-border food, music and dance are abundant everywhere around the city.

Come and enjoy entertainment, Sonoran-style food and fireworks at this big fiesta at Kennedy Park during the second weekend of September. This is a free event; you only pay for food and drinks at the stands.
