The Weekender Tucson

New Heroes & Pioneers, 2025

Nestled between five mountain ranges, Tucson is a city where centuries of Indigenous, Spanish, and frontier heritage meet a thriving modern spirit. Adobe walls and mission steeples recall its deep history, while lively neighborhoods, world-class learning institutions, and a vibrant arts scene reflect its evolution. The city’s rhythm is painted in desert light and long shadows. Colorful murals splash across buildings, mesquite smoke curls into the evening air, and towering saguaros keep silent watch. Tucson is a place of balance: stillness and energy, roots and vision, sun and shadows. This volume offers a visual narrative unfolding over four days through the city, captured by photographer Erica Connolly. We begin in the bright alleys of Barrio Viejo, wander into the eclectic charm of Fourth Avenue, pause among the blooms in desert gardens, and trace the lines of modern architecture rising beside centuries-old traditions. Recognized as the first UNESCO City of Gastronomy in the United States, Tucson delights the senses not only through its landscapes but also its culinary heritage. As the desert sky deepens into sunset and stars flood the horizon, the city unfolds—layered, vibrant, and alive.
