El Presidio Park functions as home to the annual Tucson Folk Festival event, which is held each year at the beginning of May. Activities of the weekend celebration include dozens of local and national musical artist performances in conjunction with the sale of various works of craftsmanship and a delicious assortment of fine cuisine.

Many affordable homes in Tucson are only a short drive from breathtaking destinations like the Catalina State Park, the Coronado National Forest and the Saguaro National Park. These parks make great destinations for hikes and camping trips.
