The South Tucson Street Festival is an annual world-class event, vibrant community gathering festival with recreational opportunities where diverse cultures and generations can come together to connect, celebrate, collaborate, and create.  

This year, we are exploring ideas that influence wellness in our daily lives:

• Art: Activities including music, dance, writing, painting, sculpture and experimenting with various other creative outlets have been shown to reduce stress. This year we will offer opportunities to learn how dabbling in arts activities can improve health.
• Money and finance:Managing or mishandling money may impact your financial freedom and ability to do what you want. Residents will learn about financial Literacy, health and how good money management can help people follow and live their dreams.
• Movement:Although exercise and fitness is an important factor in physical well-being – it doesn’t have to feel like work. We will offer opportunities to explore alternative fitness activities including dance, yoga, and music with fitness or cardio routines.

Bringing the community together for pride, heritage, health and wellness

• Need:Difficulties obtaining healthcare access to treat diabetes and obesity for low-income and Spanish-speaking residents of South Tucson, and all over the Tucson Metropolitan area.
• Intervention:Resources with several local healthcare facilities which also have wellness programs using bilingual community health workers to provide education and support that improves diets, physical activity, and teaches stress management.
