Haunted Arizona: Fun Things For Halloween

So many Arizona activities for Halloween are available. Stop by Jerome for a delicious avocado sandwich at the famed haunted Asylum Restaurant. Check out Prescott for amazing neighborhood decorations. Or cruise down to Tucson to get the daylights scared out of you at Old Tucson Studios' Nightfall celebration. For kid- friendly fun, the corn maze and tour of the pumpkin patch at Buckalew Farms is always a best bet. Happy Halloween!

Old Town Artisans: A Tucson Treasure Box

Whether you're searching for Oaxacan art, southwestern pottery, ornate jewlery designed and created by local artists, Day of the Dead dolls, or just chili pepper lights and scorpion tee shirts, you'll find it at Old Town Artisans.

Located in colorful downtown Tucson at 201 N. Court Avenue, this collection of shops in a historic adobe building is a local staple. You can wander through the building at leisure, moving seamlessly from shop to shop. There is also a small cantina, La Cocina, which features Southwestern and American menu choices. You can sit in the small dining room or the charming, beautiful courtyard.

My favorite shop is Toteca Tlacuilo. This space is a feast for the eyes. I literally cannot go to this shop without purchasing one of the many eclectic items. I've purchased gorgeous woodcarved, handpainted candlesticks, a Virgin of Guadalupe illuminati, a bit of Oaxacan art, and more. You have been warned!
