How to Fest

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO TO MAXIMIZE YOUR FILM FEST TUCSON EXPERIENCE.

Getting there

Film Fest Tucson has venues located in Downtown Tucson and the Tucson core. All venues are accessible from the streetcar. Park your car and hop on to ride between the various venues as well as restaurants and hotels. 

Downtown

With 4,000 covered public parking spaces in garages and surface lots and more than 1,800 metered spaces on streets, parking in Downtown Tucson is simple and close. There is ample parking in city garages and on-street parking can be found within blocks of each venue and many metered spaces are free after 5 p.m. Garages downtown are located at Pennington St. between Congress and 6th Ave. and at La Placita garage, located on Jackson between Stone Ave. and Church Ave. For a map of downtown parking options visit: 

SUNLINK STREETCAR

The Sunlink streetcar connects all of our venues and is free to ride. Park your car at one of the garages, or in metered spaces, which are free after 5 p.m. and on weekends. Then hop on the streetcar to get from Main Gate Square to the AC Hotel Tucson Downtown, Fox Theatre and the Scottish Rite. Stops are within a block or two of each of our venues. For more info on routes and stops visit the Sun Link website. .

University Area

At Main Gate Square parking is steps away from the Main Gate Plaza venue. Parking North of the Plaza is at Main Gate Garage located at 1390 E. 2nd St. South of the Plaza is Tyndall Ave. Garage at 880 E. 4th St. With additional arts and cultural events taking place downtown during the festival weekend, it is advisable to come early and make an evening of it, with dinner downtown before or after a film.

Advance tickets can be purchased online via individual film page listings.

Day-of tickets can be purchased at the box office. Box Office opens 1 hour before showtime.

The film festival environment is great for meeting with others about your cinema experience. Come early, have some dinner near the venue, or visit the venue, have some popcorn and meet with other film lovers. 

 

Film Fest Tucson was created for you — local Tucsonans and visitors alike who love great storytelling, great cinema and conversation about both. We’ve created this festival because we believe there are more stories to be told, and by sharing this festival with other important Tucson arts and culture entities, we all benefit. We hope you will continue to support film all year long, and we’ll see you at the screenings!
