Hotel Congress

The main Hotel Congress sign, 311 E. Congress St., Tucson, on May 11, 2017, framed by cables for the Modern Streetcar. The hotel opened in 1919 and has evolved into a longtime destination for food and nightlife. The iconic neon sign was added to the roof around 1940.

Hotel Congress is a little light on the details for its Wet Hot American Party this Saturday. 

But we know the two words that will have people flocking to the downtown event:

"water slide"

Yes, Hotel Congress will have a water slide set up this weekend for this to-do, an event that will also include "patriotic giveaways," drink specials and late-night bites. 

Guest DJs will be making appearances throughout the evening. The party starts at 10 p.m.
