For four days in early February the population of the tiny historic village of Tubac [2], about 45 minutes south of Tucson [3] on I-19, swells tenfold, as hundreds of roaming artists and artisans set up their white tents and offer their unique and often strange visions and creations.

Thousands flock from all around—Tucson, Green Valley, and Nogales—to stroll through the village’s few streets, ducking in and out of all the crafty shops, eating grilled and fried food, and generally enjoying a 70-degree blue-sky day in late winter.
