Come Saturday, Aug. 5, all of that goes out the window when Hotel McCoy temporarily transforms 15 of its rooms into tiny venues ready to house concerts, live mural painting from Serena McRae and Christina Thomas, art galleries, a comedy show curated by Chris Haughton & Friends, a fashion runway by El Be Goods, a karaoke club, a photography studio and even a silent disco from the folks behind Dusk Music Festival.
Arizona Artfest, which is sponsored by #ThisIsTucson, features the work of more than 35 artists, musicians and makers from all over the state, many of which are from Tucson. The festival is free to attend and open to all ages. You'll hear the voices of Santa Pachita, Daytrails and Kayla Von der Heide who was on season 22 of"The Voice" and hails from Bisbee. You'll get to enjoy drinks from an outdoor bar and food from three different trucks: the onsite Tran's Fats, Cowpig and Fría.
