The Arizona Insect Festival is back! Join us Sunday October 6, 2024 from 10 a.m.– 2 p.m., at the ENR2 building on the University of Arizona campus. This FREE family event features over 20 booths with live insects and hands-on activities. Chat with insect scientists and learn more about amazing Arizona insects! 

In honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11/2001, and in continued honor of our first responders and military who protect us from foreign and domestic threats, we gather to pay our respects at the annual 911 Tower Challenge.



The World Trade Center's Twin Towers each consisted of 110 floors and 2071 steps, and each year thousands of people across Arizona walk, climb and run the stairs to remember. Firefighters in full gear, Police, Military and Bomb Squad personnel march steadily alongside civilians of varying ages, abilities and backgrounds.
