Join us on Saturday, February 7 from 10 AM to 3 PM for the Cruise, BBQ & Blues Car Show presented by Art State Arizona !
Cruise, BBQ & Blues is where horsepower meets artistry. From 10 AM to 3 PM, the Oro Valley Marketplace becomes a high-energy destination where chrome shines, smokers roll, and live blues set the rhythm for the day. Admission is just $5, and kids 10 and under get in free, making it an all-ages celebration built for the whole community.
More than 200 classic and custom vehicles will fill the marketplace, turning it into an open-air gallery of design, innovation, and engineering. From sleek mid-century favorites to bold, one-of-a-kind builds, every car has a story to tell. With more than 30 award categories, including Best Paint, Best Engine, and People’s Choice.
The experience doesn’t stop at the cars. The Tucson Foodie BBQ Competition brings the heat as pitmasters and culinary creatives fire up their smokers, serving bold flavors and slow-cooked perfection. Barbecue becomes an art form of its own, pairing comfort with creativity. Live blues performances roll through the afternoon, adding soul and sound to a festival that celebrates expression in all its forms.
