Tucson Meet Yourself is coming back in person this weekend. The organizers are downsizing the festival and introducing a new dance event this year.

Kimi Eisele, communications manager at Tucson Meet Yourself, said that due to COVID, organizers reduced the number of artists and vendors this year and designed the festival with social distancing in mind.

“We really invite the public to step into this room of respect. Whether that means maintaining a safe social distance, wearing a mask to protect your neighbor, or making sure you are vaccinated,” Eisele said.

Attendees can get a shot or even a booster shot at the event if they’re qualified, she said.

Eisele said the Fox Theater will host a new festival of ethnic and traditional dance, and anyone interested can find these tickets online.

And she added that an old favorite is set to return.

“We’re bringing the corrido competition back by popular demand,” she said.

She also said that those who are concerned about the crowd but still want to enjoy the food can order take away, and the festival room will have dedicated parking for those who pick it up.
