¡Viva Tucson!
A cultural melting pot located just 60 miles north of the US-Mexico border, Tucson proudly embraces its rich Spanish and Mexican influences. However, the city's vibrant cultural tapestry extends beyond these roots, encompassing a diverse array of Latinx and Hispanic traditions. From the food and the history to the music and the art, the story of Hispanic culture in America is the story of Tucson.
Tucson is not just a city; it's a bicultural destination that invites you to celebrate your Hispanic roots through festivals, art, música, comida, and history.
Founded in 1775, Tucson's historic sites and museums provide a window into the city's rich cultural heritage. Wander through the Presidio San Agustín del Tucson, a reconstructed Spanish fort that tells the story of Tucson's early settlers, or visit Mission San Xavier del Bac, a stunning example of Spanish colonial architecture and one of the oldest intact European structures in Arizona.
