25 Days of the Tucson holiday season


It's the first day of December and sometimes I find it difficult to get into the holiday spirit since I live in the desert and it's still 70 degrees. There really are a lot of festive events that happen during the month of December, so I've decided to mention one each day leading up to December 25th to help everyone remember that it is actually the holiday season in Tucson!


Today there are a number of fun activities scheduled to start the month off with some holiday cheer...

Nothing says the holidays in the desert Southwest like tamales! Making and eating tamales are a holiday tradition in Tucson, and there's no better place to celebrate this tradition then at the Tamale and Heritage Festival at Casino Del Sol! It takes place today from 10am-6pm and is a great way to have fun while enjoying some of the best tamales in Tucson!

Another great way to get into the spirit is to tour the holiday lights and luminaries at Tohono Chul Park. Enjoy live music, cookies, hot cider and thousands of festive lights in beautiful desert surroundings. Stop by for late afternoon tea, finger sandwiches and desserts before checking out the lights.
