In November, Southern Arizona’s weather borders on perfect for just about any outdoor activity: hiking, picnicking, fishing, kayaking, (Sorry, skiers. You’ll probably have to wait until the January snows at Ski Valley.)
Here are a few worthwhile events, mostly free and family-friendly.

Where? Downtown Tucson
When? Participants gather: 5 PM at Toole Ave. & Congress St. Parade begins at 6 PM and proceeds along Alameda to West Congress and ends at Mercado San Agustin west of the freeway.

Tuesday November 6th: VOTE, if you haven’t already. The idea here is not to vote because it’s our civic duty. Rather, vote to celebrate the end of what seemed like an endless campaign season.
