Beads of Courage is hosting the Beads, Blues and Beer Festival at the Metal Arts Village during the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. The event is family-friendly and brings together the Tucson community for a day of bead-stringing fun, food, inspiration, art, and live music.

The festival is a celebration with our Tucson community while acknowledging the art of the bead and all that our organization has accomplished in helping children coping with serious illness.

The event features exhibitors with unique items for sale, wearable art for purchase, Beads of Courage signature bead-stringing activities, and live music from Tucson’s talent. During the evening we will honor our Beads of Courage Annual Hall of Fame Bead Artists through an Induction Ceremony during an inspiring presentation.
