Tucson's own social network!

Hello, neighbor! Welcome to Tucson.social! Tucson is where the heart of the Sonoran Desert harmoniously blends with urban charm. Sky Islands majestically rise from the vast desert floor and diverse wildlife adds a layer of enchantment to our city. From bobcats and roadrunners to the occasional rattlesnake and elusive Gila Monster, we’ve got an amazing cast. Our local javelinas and coyotes, while not the cuddly types, paint a genuine picture of desert life. And if you’re looking to see adorable fluffy rodents play in the dirt, the round-tailed ground squirrels won’t disappoint!

Tucson is also proud to host the University of Arizona - Go Wildcats! Our city thrives with a culture of innovation, vibrant student life, and a community spirit that warms every corner. Downtown and midtown offer an abundance of modern comforts and unique activities that promise endless discovery.

Steeped in a rich history, Tucson is a treasure trove of heritage sites. The historic Mission San Xavier del Bac stands as a testament to our community’s longstanding faith, while places like the Presidio San Agustín del Tucson and El Tiradito carry stories from centuries past. A short drive away, the Del-Bac Distillery captures Tucson’s vivacious spirit in each bottle of finely crafted whiskey.

But the true magic of Tucson reveals itself when the sun goes down. Our sunsets are a spectacle of pinks and oranges painting the desert sky, followed by a night sky adorned with stars, thanks to our clear, light-pollution-free skies. It’s a stargazer’s paradise!

So come on in, make yourself at home. Whether you’re here for the wildlife, innovative culture, unique local experiences, breathtaking sunsets, or star-filled nights, Tucson.social is your one-stop-shop for everything Tucson. Your adventure starts here!
