All demonstrations and speakers are free with admission to the show. Door prizes will be given out throughout the show. They are generously donated to the show.

NEW Bobbie Aug will once again be at Quilt Fiesta! to do quilt appraisals. If you would like to have a quilt appraised that is hanging in the show please print the two page form, fill it out and give it (with your check) to Phyllis Spalla. Doing this before the show starts will make it easier for Bobbie to know which quilts in the show (and how many) will need to be appraised. She will also take walk in appraisals.

 

Certain quilt show positions are listed below for direct emailing.

Wheelchairs, walkers and strollers are allowed. Children are welcome and free under age 14. Rolling shopping carts are not allowed.

Map to downtown Tucson including the Tucson Convention Center. Construction is pretty much over, finally. Exit the I-10 at Congress/Broadway and turn east. Turn right on Granada, either turn into the first driveway on the left or curve around onto Cushing and drive into the Convention Center which will be on the left. Use lots B and C. Lot B is closest to the entrance. I will try and keep this updated closer to the show. Can even park in lot A.

Parking

There is a charge for parking in the lots. The price has been lowered to $6 for 2014. There is some(very little) free parking on the street on the weekend and possibly Friday. I believe that cars can leave and re-enter the lot for no additonal charge on the same day. Check with the clerk upon entry. Lot B is closest to the entrance of the show which is on the west side of the Exhibition Hall. Lot C is also very close to the entrance. Parking in Lot B is right near the door and there are no stair problems with either lot. There is handicaped parking at the TCC. Enter the parking lot off Cushing Street or Granada Street. There are escalators, stairs and an elevator inside near the show entrance.

We have halls B&C. Tickets will be sold inside near our entrance doors next to the escalators on the entry level.

Additional parking is available at locations near the convention center and at La Placita Garage at 211 South Church for $5 or so. This is a bit further to walk to our show but still close. It is a brightly colored parking garage next to the Cathedral at 6th Ave.

 Wheelchairs, walkers and strollers are allowed. Children are welcome and free under age 14. Rolling shopping carts are not allowed.
No food or beverages allowed on the show floor. Food and drinks are available for purchase.
