Only 21 days away! Sunday, April 7 10-5.

Quick overview of Made in Tucson Market. MinT is a one-day event twice a year in spring and fall. Organized by the Coalition, a nonprofit, with a team of volunteers, whose goal is to create an inclusive environment where folks have access to their favorite artists, activate our beloved district, and create opportunities for the community to gather. Connection is why we’re here.

The funds from MinT are reinvested back into the community through murals, improvement grants for local businesses, and a community space at 311 E 7th Street. This space is being utilized for swaps, fleas, skill shares, classes, and rentals. We are extremely excited about the opportunities for growing intentional space for the community. Head over to to see what we have going at 311.

Giving back to the 4th Ave community with the money raised at our MinT Market is super important to us!

Thanks to for this beautiful photo.

Enjoyed by animals and people alike, the fruits have long been an important (and delicious) staple food for desert dwellers. Naturally sweet and versatile, the saguaro fruit are enjoyed both raw and cooked, as well as processed into jams, syrups, wines, or even dried and made into cakes. Even the seeds have their use as they are often ground into flour or simply eaten raw.

What's a food special to those where you live?
