You and the family can get in the holiday spirit, have some fun and get in shape this month for free downtown.
There are free outdoor movies, workouts, a work space with free wifi, pictures with Santa and more, starting Dec. 8.
The festivities will take place at Jacome Plaza, 101 N. Stone Ave., an effort by the Downtown Tucson Partnership to draw more families and people who work downtown to the area.
"Instead of just coordinating one event, we're promoting five weeks of entertainment at Jacome Plaza," said Kathleen Eriksen, CEO of the Downtown Tucson Partnership. "We are activating that public space."
