Watch now: A look through the decades of Tucson Meet Yourself
The annual Tucson folklife festival returns to Tucson to celebrate the diverse communities and people living in and around the Old Pueblo.
Founded in 1974 by Tucson folklorist Jim Griffith and his wife Loma, Tucson Meet Yourself brings thousands of people from different cultures, countries, and ages together to enjoy live music and dancing and feast on some traditional cuisine from all parts of the globe.
This year's 48th annual festival will be smaller than in past years, but will still have a schedule full of entertainment. Video by Jesse Tellez / Arizona Daily Star.
