Through heartfelt ballads and timeless folk traditions, Ted brings the stories, landscapes, and spirit of the Southwest to life. His performances are a journey through history and culture, filled with warmth, humor, and soul.

Join us in the Presidio’s historic setting for this special concert that invites reflection, joy, and community connection as we step into 2026. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to Ted’s music, his songs will leave you with a deeper sense of place and belonging.

Your ticket includes concert, park admission, refreshments and light bites.

Tubac Festival of the Arts has been bringing color to the desert since 1959, and every February, the whole village transforms into an open-air gallery. More than 250 booths fill Tubac’s streets with paintings, sculpture, jewelry, photography, and one-of-a-kind finds, while local shops, galleries, and restaurants add their own flair to the mix.

Expect to spend the day wandering the streets, which are closed to cars, so wear comfy shoes and take your time browsing booths, tasting festival food, and enjoying live music. Shuttle service and parking areas make it easy to get in and out, but once you’re here, the pace is relaxed. Think sunshine, art at every turn, and plenty of chances to stop, sip, and soak it all in.

Jack's back! Join us as we welcome Jack Lasseter, well known local orator and historian, as he shares the epic story of the Buffalo soldiers out West, Black troopers in the U.S. Army after the Civil War, and their contribution during the Indian Wars.

Although we did not see them in the Western movies of our youth, they composed fully 10% of the entire U.S. Army and 20% of the cavalry in that Western army. Their story is a fascinating story, much of which occurs here in the Southwest, here in Arizona. It is a truly stirring story of American patriots that we should never forget.

Your ticket includes admission to the Tubac Presidio State Historic Park and Museum, light refreshments and lecture. Although, this isn’t your typical "lecture"- free from Powerpoint, sit back relax and enjoy a story that takes you back in time.

You're invited to the Green Valley Sahuarita Chamber of Commerce's Third Thursday Breakfast & Business Workshop!
