Each year, tens of thousands of Tucsonans and area visitors attend events at the Fox ranging from big-name music acts to classic films, family and youth programs, community produced events of all kinds, lectures, graduations, and much more.
The Fox is without question one of Tucson’s finest historically preserved landmarks. She is a vibrant, always evolving, cultural treasure standing proudly at the heart of our downtown. The Fox embodies a sense of place, history, and community connectedness, holding and shaping cherished memories for all who pass through her doors.
