For 50 or so years now people have visited Tucson, Arizona in Feb for the Gem and Mineral Show. This year it was larger than ever with many small, medium and large shows all over Tucson going on at the same time. There are many close enough together to walk, while some are miles apart.
Parking is available at some shows as well as at public and private parking lots around town. Shows are mixed, or some are for specific items like minerals, fossils, meteorites and large samples. Some shows and booths are related to jewelry, others for home or garden decor and collectors items
