Join us on March 25th from 5:00pm to 7:30pm at Highwire Tucson for the TENWEST Mega Mixer, marking the official start of the TENWEST Festival and the launch of the Indigenize TENWEST initiative. Plus a special pre-event panel discussion “ORIGINATIV: Reclaiming Indigenous Language, Design, and Storytelling” will take place at 4pm at HighWire. Session is included with registration, space limited.

This year, the Mega Mixer, presented by the City of Tucson, will also highlight the importance of Indigenous participation within the TENWEST Festival, celebrating the contributions of Native American entrepreneurs and creatives. The event will feature a special meetup, connecting leaders, community members, and innovators from Arizona’s Tribal Nations alongside our existing and new partner organizations.
