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.

Join public historian Alex La Pierre for a fascinating presentation that explores the maritime expeditions that charted the Gulf of California-known to the Spanish as the Sea of Cortez-and their vital role in connecting the Baja Peninsula with the greater Spanish borderlands.

Through vivid storytelling and historical insight, you'll learn the challenges, discoveries, and enduring legacies of early seafaring along this storied coastline.

Set in the storied landscape of southern Arizona, the documentary “Munguía Rancher – San Pedro River Valley” explores the enduring legacy of mestizo families who shaped the region’s ranching heritage along the San Pedro River. The film centers on Don Tomás Munguía, a 19th-century rancher whose lineage traces back to Tubac soldier Juan Manuel Ortega who was honored at the Tubac Presidio in 2018 by the Sons of the American Revolution and buried beneath St. Ann’s Church. Presented by Monica Dunbar Smith, descendant of both Munguía and Ortega.
