Santa Cruz Celebrates its 1st Annual Nature and Cultural Fair in Tubac

St. Ann’s Church in Tubac is partnering with Montessori de Santa Cruz and the Arizona Watchable Wildlife Tourism Association to host the first annual Santa Cruz Nature and Cultural Exhibit and Fair on Friday, May 6th and Saturday, May 7th at 2231 E. Frontage Road in Tubac. The goal of the event is to educate children and adults about the area’s wildlife and cultural heritage.

The two-day event will feature activities for children and families including nature and cultural exhibits, guided river walks, bird tours, games, wildlife and tour information, live animal exhibits and food. On Saturday, May 7th, St. Ann’s Church will host a family carnival.

A nature festival is one of the best ways to connect people to the environment,” says Kazz Workizer, president of the Arizona Watchable Wilflife Tourism Association. “The festival provides many ways to learn about the birds and animals around us in a fun and exciting way. Children and adults are sure to have a “Wow!” moment as they experience hands on activities, look through binoculars, learn about the importance of the river ecosystem and have some plain old-fashioned fun.”

The exhibit and fair will be open to the public, with a suggested donation of $3 that includes admission and parking. The event is sponsored by Kazzam Nature Gifts, Montessori de Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County Superintendent of Schools, and Arizona Department of Game and Fish. Exhibit booths and sponsorship opportunities are available. For more information, contact Daniel Manriquez of Montessori de Santa Cruz at 520-398-0536.
