It is, understandably, not a very popular time of year to visit the desert regions of Arizona. Many of the big crowd-drawing events happen fall through spring. While it gets a bit quieter here, there are still things happening outside of the heat of the day.
Meanwhile, in Northern Arizona, there are outdoor concerts, markets, and festivals going on.
As always, there also are events you can join in online whatever the weather is like in your neck of the woods.
So here’s my handpicked list of intriguing things going-on throughout the state – as well as some you can join in anywhere! Stars* highlight discounts, extras, and other goodies!
Happy New Year! These first three(ish) months tend to be when the weather is at its best in the desert regions of Arizona.
It’s not a coincidence that many of Tucson’s biggest events of the year are planned for this time. The Jazz Festival, Gem Show, and Rodeo are basically scheduled right on top of each other. The Festival of Books isn’t far behind. It’s like the city is trying to cram as much as possible in between the holidays and the onset of the summer heat!
To help you keep track of it all, here’s my handpicked list of intriguing goings-on around Arizona, as well as a few you can enjoy virtually anywhere!
