Tucson: Events: 2009: April

Tucson Calendar of Events for April 2009

April in Tucson is probably one of the best times of the year. It's not too hot (yet), or cold, or windy. April events in Tucson span the spectrum from the end of the Spring Training season to Live Music Series at Park Place Mall, ASUA Spring Fling, The Pima County Fair, and the ever popular Tucson International Mariachi Conference. Select a event in Tucson this weekend or today.
