Tucson, AZ— “Call us Pollyannas, but at Hotel Congress we consider the dog days of summer a particularly great time to stick around the Old Pueblo. Not only do the glorious monsoons make their annual arrival, but so does the breadth of entertainment we provide become more adventurous” said Hotel Congress Entertainment Director David Slutes. To wit - the 4th of July ExtravaGanja Comedy Show, Los Angeles’s hilariously entertaining Outlaw Mariachi and heavy Metal madness from The Dirt, will grace the stages in July, to name just a few. Water features (did someone say above ground pool?), wild drink and food specials from the Cup and Food truck, will keep things lively throughout the Month.
