Need a hotel for your stay? Visit http://www.visit-tucson.com/ to search for information on the following hotels. The closest hotel to the Tucson Convention Center is the The Hotel Arizona on Congress. The Riverpark Inn is a short-ten-minute walk under the freeway at 350 S. Freeway. The Riverpark Inn is offering a Quilt Show Special(see the flyer). Contact the Inn at 520-239-2314 or 800-551-1466. Others aren't really within walking distance but are a short trip by car.

Please read about the Betty Hayden Award and the Ed Seright Award. These are voted on each year at our show.
Map to downtown Tucson including the Tucson Convention Center. The freeway is completly open. The construction is finished. Exit the I-10 at Congress/Broadway and turn east. Turn south on Granada and drive to the Convention Center which will be on the left. Lots B and C.
Parking
There is a charge for parking in the lots. The price has been raised to $8. 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. There is a ramp from parking lot C but no stairs. Parking in Lot B is right near the door and there are no stair problems with that entrance either. 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 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.
