This is the 13th year the event has come to Tucson.

Other events such as concerts, dance performances, and food festivals will be occurring during the fiesta.

Ticket prices for box seats are $25 and general admission tickets are $20. Tickets for children age 6-16 and seniors are $10.

The Arizona Wildcats baseball team has played in the fiesta each of the last four years. This year’s Wildcats game will be against Hermosillo in the second game of the doubleheader on Thursday.
