Hundreds of tents are rising across the UA Campus Mall, transforming the heart of the University of Arizona for the upcoming for the Tucson Festival of Books.

But hereā€™s the real magic: this massive transformation is powered by thousands of volunteers. From setup to guest support to making sure every panel runs smoothly, our volunteers are the heartbeat of the Festival. We also couldn't do this without The University of Arizona and Arizona Party Rental!

Next weekend when you walk under a tent, hop in line, or find your seat, know that itā€™s all made possible by community. šŸ’› Drop a šŸ‘ in the comments to thank the volunteers who bring the Festival to life!
