Mother Nature is cranking the heat back up in Southern Arizona, but that hasn’t stopped Tucson from enjoying the first few weeks of fall.
This weekend has a little something for everyone. Here are some possibilities:
Tucson Pride – While Pride month is celebrated in June throughout most of the country, in Tucson, it is celebrated in late September when things are (usually) cooler.
Tucson Pride takes place this weekend and includes an AIDS Walk/Pride Parade, around Armory Park, Downtown, on Friday, starting at 6 p.m.; and a Pride Festival from noon until 10 p.m. at Reid Park in midtown, Saturday. The parade is free. The festival is $20.
Slaughterhouse – If jump scares are your thing during spooky season, then head down to the former Farmer John meat-packing plant, 1102 W. Grant Road, this weekend for the launch of The Slaughterhouse haunted attraction.
Now in its 20th year, the entire plant transforms into a fright fest from Friday, Sept. 27, until Nov. 2, Thursdays through Sundays. Ticket prices start at $29 and can be purchased through the website .
