It’s a party from dawn till dusk. If you are a Tucson local, a music festival fan, or just love a good party, then you may be familiar with DUSK, a music festival that transforms the streets of downtown Tucson into a walkable celebration of music, art, food, and, most importantly, community. Like any good music festival, fans can expect sets where artists bring their ‘A game,’ as well as a variety of vendor villages, immersive and live art installations, and filling food stops. Since the festival’s debut in 2016, it has continued to grow in popularity due to its support of local businesses and artists. This has created its reputation as a fun and unforgettable fall experience for fans. Now, DUSK Music Festival is celebrating its 10-year anniversary: a decade of DUSK.
Whether you like to dance until your toes go numb, or prefer to find your zen and vibe out, DUSK has the perfect festival experience for you. Beyond a lengthy lineup of big-name and local artists, the DUSK festival grounds offer plenty more to explore. You can tap into your child-like wonder with a visit to the JARS Retro Arcade, a space filled with classic arcade games, immersive visuals, and a touch of friendly competition. Between throwing down at your favorite sets, you won’t want to miss larger-than-life sculptures, digital art, video projection mapping, and live art scattered throughout the festival grounds. In partnership with Art State Arizona, the University of Arizona’s School of Art, and Pima Community College’s Art Department, DUSK commissions over 20 area artists to turn the festival into a “living canvas,” or for festivalgoers, a walking wonder. Need to rest your feet? Fans can kick back and relax at the DUSK Cannabis Garden, a creatively curated zone that combines cannabis and culture. Whichever way you like to party, DUSK has something for everyone.
