I'm based in Tucson, and the southern half of what I do is a Tucson craft fair in three towns: Oro Valley on Oracle Road, Dove Mountain in Marana, and Green Valley at Continental Plaza. The dates below are the shows I've listed. October through April, most weekends, free to walk.
Same mix as the Phoenix shows — handmade paintings, photography, jewelry, ceramics, yard art, and craft, mostly local and regional. Hours are usually Friday and Saturday 10–5 and Sunday 10–3. Green Valley often starts earlier in the week. Trust the show page for hours.
Oro Valley art show on Oracle Road
This one sits on a very busy road. 7951 N Oracle Rd, southwest corner of Oracle and Magee. Tens of thousands of cars go by, and that's why I put the show there. Come out, walk the booths, and you're already on the north side if you want to keep going.
Upcoming weekends are on the Oro Valley art show page.
Dove Mountain art fair in Marana
Dove Mountain is next to the foothills in Marana, at 12050 N Dove Mountain Blvd, with great visibility from Tangerine Road. It's a smaller art fair. A good reason to spend the day on that side of the valley.
Dates are on Dove Mountain.
Green Valley and the south
Come out and join us at Continental Shopping Plaza, 210 W Continental Rd. Green Valley often runs Thursday through Saturday. If you're already headed down I-19, Tubac makes a nice afternoon. Our booths are at the plaza.
The next weekend is on Green Valley.
