Somehow, some way, July is already more than half over.
Despite the intense monsoon storms and sweltering triple-digit heat, we've enjoyed lots of live music, splashed around at pool parties and taken advantage of after-hours events at our favorite attractions.
This weekend, catch two outdoor movie screenings, a free cosplay fest, a night market at Old Tucson, craft workshops, a plant sale and more. Of course, things can change quickly! Check for the latest info before heading out.
