Live outdoor music recommendations

Looking for live outdoor music recommendations for February and March (daytime or evenings). We are familiar with Three Canyons (we really enjoy going there) but wondering where else there is. Thanks in advance!

Tucson has a vibrant live music scene, and February and March are great months for enjoying outdoor performances thanks to the mild winter weather. Since you already enjoy Three Canyon, here are some additional venues and events to consider:

Popular outdoor music spots and venues:

  • Rillito Park: Occasionally hosts outdoor concerts and festivals during the cooler months; check their event calendar for February and March events.
  • St. Philip’s Plaza or Mercado San Agustin: These areas sometimes feature live outdoor music, especially on weekends and during local art and cultural events.
  • Waterfront venues at Reid Park or Tucson Botanical Gardens: Some events in these parks include live music performances, often paired with food and craft fairs.
  • Downtown Tucson: Some restaurants, patios, and bars host daytime or evening live music outdoors, especially around Congress Street and the 4th Avenue area.
  • Local breweries and wineries: Places like Dragoon Brewing, Barrio Brewing, and Arizona Hops & Vines often host outdoor live music in their patios and beer gardens during mild winter days.

Special events and seasonal music:

  • Tucson Folk Festival: Usually held in February, this event features outdoor performances across multiple venues downtown.
  • Spring Art & Music Festivals: Early March often hosts weekend festivals with live music outdoors, local artisans, and food trucks.
  • University of Arizona campus events: Check their event calendars for open-air concerts or cultural music performances that may be accessible to the public.

For the best experience, it’s a good idea to monitor local event listings and social media pages of venues, as schedules can change and new pop-up outdoor concerts are common. Tucson’s winter weather is ideal for enjoying daytime or evening performances outdoors, especially in the late afternoon and early evening when temperatures are perfect.
