More than 400 authors taking part in this year's Tucson Festival of Books on March 9-10 at the University of Arizona.
The popular Science City returns this year, with four science-themed "neighborhoods" featuring more than 60 organizations – including dozens from the University – offering hands-on activities, science demonstrations and performances for families with children.
Kids and families can also participate in a new scavenger hunt this year. The game will call on participating kids to use clues and a map to find six locations to identify historic festival "critter" mascots. The materials will be available in English and Spanish through a QR code or paper handouts that will be made available online and in the Arizona Daily Star ahead of the festival. Once participants complete the hunt, they can spin a wheel to win a small prize.
