About the 2019 Envision Tucson Sustainable Festival
When and Where
Envision Tucson Sustainable Festival is taking place this year on Saturday, October 26, 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.
Building Resilience by Building Community This motto of the Festival brings together the two key components needed for sustainability in our desert Southwest, or indeed for the world. When we come together as a strong community, when we work together in the face of inevitable changes and challenges, we can build the resilience we will surely need and we can create a beautiful and rewarding life.
This family event is as much a community expo as it is a celebration of local and regional actions by organizations and companies promoting sustainability. Envision Tucson Sustainable Festival is your opportunity to share what’s happening already and to explore what each of us individually and all of us as a community can do heading into the future.
What’s This Festival About?
Sustainability draws on many facets of our lives. Exhibits, demonstrations, and activities at the Festival will address them all in some way:

What’s This Festival About?
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.
