SUMMARY:Tubac's Dia de los Muertos Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Experience the unforgettable vibrant tradition of Tubac’s annual Día de los Muertos celebration\, a beautiful event that brings the community together to honor those who have passed. Also known as Day of the Dead\, this cultural tradition is rooted in the belief that the spirits of our loved ones return to visit us during this time. \nThroughout the village\, ofrendas (altars) are lovingly created and adorned with photos\, favorite foods\, drinks\, and cherished items of those being remembered. Casa Maya de Mexico\, event organizer\, provides everything you need to decorate your ofrenda\, booth\, and procession signage\, making it easy for participants to create beautiful displays. Whether you’re new to the tradition or return each year\, all are welcome to take part in this meaningful and heartfelt celebration of life. \nThis year\, the heart of the event is located at Tubac Presidio State Historical Park and Museum\, at 1 Burruel St.\, which will host the vendor area\, procession start and end points\, and main performances. The procession will travel through all streets of the village. \nThe day includes a colorful procession\, altars\, offerings\, a bonfire finale\, pop-up vendors\, food trucks\, face painting\, a DJ\, and live music. \nFor more information\, including schedule and parking\, visit https://www.tubacaz.com/event-details/tubac-dia-de-los-muertos-2026-11-07-09-00.

SUMMARY:“Padre Kino\, Scientist” free Third Thursday Food for Thought Zoom presentation by Vatican Observatory astronomer Christopher J. Corbally\, S.J.\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:There is a statue of the Jesuit missionary and explorer Padre Kino in Tucson. He is on horseback. The head of his horse is drooping. It has been a long and hot day of travel in the Sonoran desert. But Kino sits upright\, and he has a “blue shell” clutched to his chest by his right hand. He clearly has had a brilliant idea. That idea connects his early expedition to Baja California\, to where he has just met the O’Odham\, in Tucson. That idea needed his travels and his science. \nFather Chris invites\, “Let us\, via his grasp of science\, connect the dots and understand his great insight. His science covered many disciplines. Kino was a mathematician\, an astronomer\, an instrument maker\, a map maker\, an agriculturalist\, and a cattleman. So it is going to be a wide-ranging story. As a Jesuit and an astronomer\, I find the story a fascinating one. Please join me for the telling of it on Thursday\, November 19.” \nChristopher Corbally is a Jesuit priest and an astronomer with the Vatican Observatory Research Group and an Adjunct Associate Astronomer at the University of Arizona Department of Astronomy. He ministers to a wide variety of Catholics\, including Native Americans\, in Tucson\, Arizona.
