About the 2021 Envision Tucson Sustainable Festival
When and Where
Envision Tucson Sustainable Festival is taking place this year on Saturday, October 23 from 11 AM to 4 PM, in Armory Park, 221 S. 6th Avenue, in Downtown Tucson.
Armory Park is centrally located and easy to get to from all over Tucson.
Admission to the Festival is free.
There’s plenty of free parking on the streets. Metered parking is free on Saturdays.
For bike riders, there’ll also be ample bike parking on site.
Or, come by bus -- or even on the streetcar, if you’re up for a little walk.
Our Vision for the Festival
Envision Tucson Sustainable Festival provides a popular annual event that brings together individuals, organizations, and companies in our community who are working to help us not just envision but also create a resilient future for Tucson and Southern Arizona.
Making Sustainability the Heart of Our Community
This motto of the Festival captures the goal of highlighting and celebrating the essential role of sustainability in our desert Southwest, and indeed in the world. If we place sustainability as our core focus as we work together in the face of inevitable changes and challenges, we can build the resilience we will surely need to create a beautiful and rewarding future.
What’s This Festival About?
Envision Tucson Sustainable Festival explores and celebrates our sustainable community at a free, family-friendly event, featuring local and regional organizations and companies actively promoting a strong and resilient future. In addition to exhibitors and vendors showcasing their sustainable solutions, there will be interactive and creative activities for all ages, demonstrations of sustainable practices, entertainment, and local food. Envision Tucson Sustainable Festival is your opportunity to share what’s happening already, to get involved (or more involved) personally, and to explore what each of us individually and all of us together can do to foster a resilient community.
Sustainability draws on many facets of our lives. Exhibits, demonstrations, and activities at the Festival will address them all in some way:

Sustainability draws on many facets of our lives. Exhibits, demonstrations, and activities at the Festival will address them all in some way:
| Food & Food Preparation | Agriculture & Gardening | Climate Change |
| Health & Well-Being | Renewable Energy | Recycling & Upcycling |
| Education & Re-Skilling | Green Building & Rehab | Water & Water Efficiency |
| Localized Economy | Transportation | Community & Neighborhood |
| Clean Air & Air Quality | Animal Welfare & Nature | Desert-Adapted Technology |
| Aging in Place | Placemaking/Urban Form | Policy, Advocacy |
| Arts & Creativity | Zero-Waste | Environment & Conservation |
By exploring these many aspects and considering how they overlap and interact, we will begin to create, articulate, and work to realize our shared vision of a sustainable Tucson with a future as long as its past.
