Community Gardens of Tucson to Host Annual Harvest Festival

The Community Gardens of Tucson will host its annual Desert Harvest Festival, a free, family-friendly celebration of community, sustainability and desert gardening, on Sunday, October 12, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Rincon Mountain Community Garden in Tucson.

The festival will feature a lively mix of local offerings, including a farmers’ market with handmade goods, food trucks, hands-on demonstrations such as pickling and mesquite milling, live art, entertainment and a silent auction.

Proceeds will support the nonprofit’s mission of increasing food access and providing garden education in neighborhoods throughout Tucson.

“We’re excited to bring people together to celebrate the desert harvest and empower our community through food and education,” said Cas Wensel-Kanne, board representative of Community Gardens of Tucson. “It’s a chance to connect, learn and enjoy everything our local gardens and growers have to offer.”

Community Gardens of Tucson manages 21 gardens across the city, offering space, tools and resources for residents to grow food, share knowledge and strengthen community well-being.
The event is open to all ages, with donations welcome.

Location: Rincon Mountain Community Garden, 8445 E. Tanque Verde Rd., Tucson.
