October is here and the weather is finally cooling down. To celebrate, Bookmans is attending Tucson Meet Yourself. Tucson Meet Yourself is a folklife festival focusing on presenting artists and communities that carry on living traditions rooted in a group’s own definition of identity, artistry, and cultural significance. Our focus this year is all things local! Stop by our booth and learn about many of our favorite local creators, from authors to artists of all kinds.

Founded in 1974 by folklorist Jim Griffith and his wife, Loma Griffith, Tucson Meet Yourself is an annual celebration of the living traditional arts of Southern Arizona’s and Northern Mexico’s diverse ethnic and folk communities. The free, three-day event features hundreds of artisans, home cooks, dancers, musicians and special exhibits that celebrate and honor beauty in all its diverse, informal, and everyday forms. Tucson Meet Yourself happens annually in Downtown Tucson during the second weekend in October.
