Bonita Park

20 N Bonita Ave, Tucson

A theatrical festival celebrating Tucson’s west side heritage and cultural pride. Offering audiences a chance to eat alfresco with loved ones, check out an interactive game show, engage in a heritage talk circle, walk through an augmented reality installation and experience a local story told through shadow box installations. All of that before the play begins!

Bring your nanas, your kids, your neighbors, your classmates. Fun for all ages!

We invite you to make a special family recipe to enjoy with family and friends at the event or pick up dinner to go from a legacy West Side restaurant like Pat’s, Tania’s, St. Mary’s, or Mariscos Chihuahua! Or show up and buy dinner from local food trucks.

Bring chairs, blankets, ice chests—it’s a park! This is a no alcohol event.

Online reservations encouraged. (Link coming soon!) First come first serve. Free parking available in Bonita Ave lots.
