Normally, we love telling you about all the places you can gather in Tucson with your neighbors.ย
But, like you, we're navigating this ever-changing situation the best we know how.ย
And, right now, that means keeping you updated about previously scheduled community events that have been canceled or postponed due to COVID-19.
Yesterday, Tucson Mayor Regina Romero recommended that events with an expected attendance of at least 50 individuals be postponed, adding that the city will not be issuing special event permits for events with an expected attendance of 50-plus people.ย
Since the cancellation of the Tucson Festival of Books earlier this week, other beloved Tucson traditions have followed suit. We expect to see more cancellations in the days to come.ย
As always, our hope is to be as helpful to you as possible. We will continue to update this list of canceled or postponed events as needed. You can email us at thisistucson@tucson.com if you have an event that has been canceled.ย
Theย Arizona Daily Starย is also tracking local news and updating events atย tucson.comย and their coverage of coronavirus is free.
