When it comes to DUSK Festival, it’s more than just the music—it’s an all-encompassing experience. Tuscon’s urban sprawl turns into an intimate festival ground, filled with the best food and beverages Southern Arizona has to offer. Local businesses will shine in the Vendor Village, where small and micro-businesses set up shop to sell their goods. Not only does this provide a cost-effective way for vendors to promote their brands, but festival-goers also get a chance to support local businesses.

On the art front, DUSK continues its Tuscon Arts programming. Students and professional artists from the Tuscon arts community are commissioned to create various mediums of art that will be showcased throughout the festival. Not only is DUSK a musical experience, but also a visual feast.
