Celebrate with us in 2011!

Sep 2 - Jul 30, 2011

Now's the time to plan how you will celebrate Tucson's history, cultural diversity and unique, natural wonders in August 2011. If you need ideas for your own event, see our Resources page. Think of it as a family birthday party — make some fun with whatever you have on hand! Once you have settled on a date and time, click the "Your Event" tab to enter the details on our 2011 calendar. It's never too early!

"The Pimería Alta has always been a crossroads for different cultural groups. It is appropriate that the wide array of birthday events reflects that diversity and rich cultural history. In the spirit of community and a shared history, we should recognize that all of us are descendents of the presidio." — Hon. Richard Elías, Pima County Board of Supervisors; co-chair, with Cele Peterson, of Tucson's Birthday, and fifth-generation Tucsonan.

Some of my favorite photos and events by Jon Scanlon

Patti my wife saw the notice in the paper that people were needed to be Ambassadors for Tucson’s 235th Birthday. She thought it would be fun. I might not have been as enthusiastic. As it turned out we had a great time going to different events all over Tucson. Patti greeted lots people at many of the events and I volunteered to be one of the photographers. I brushed off my photography skills and ended up shooting 32 events. We met so many new friends, some old ones and became tourists in our own town. Patti and I had such a good time we have already volunteered to be ambassadors for next year.
