More great holiday activities in Tucson

There some great holiday activities scheduled in Tucson this weekend, and hopefully the weather will hold out for those joining in the outdoor events. Each day this weekend I'll note another holiday activity in my Tucson holiday countdown.

When I was previewing properties yesterday I noticed that everyone was outside, enjoying the mild Tucson weather and putting up holiday decorations. It seems that the first week of December is the "right" time for stringing up lights and hanging bright shiny bulbs from anything homeowners can find in their yards. It's really fun to watch everyone enjoy themselves, and it helps me to get into the holiday spirit.

- If your in the mood for an outdoor stroll , tonight's perfect for visiting the Tucson Botanical Gardens where you can enjoy looking at festive holiday lights at their Luminaria Nights. This Friday, Saturday and Sunday night between 5:30 - 8pm you can find over 2000 luminaries in a beautiful garden setting. Sip on hot chocolate while you dream about cold, snowy wonderlands in other parts of the world.

- If you're in the mood for something a little more lively, check out Tucson's 4th Avenue Street Fair that runs tonight through Sunday. Enjoy lots of shopping, food, music, entertainment and some great people watching! The 4th Avenue Street Fair takes places every December and is a great way to enjoy Tucson's incredible weather while celebrating the festive season with family and friends.
