The Downtown Tucson Haiku Hike

Join us for the 7th Annual Haiku Hike, a delightful collaboration between the Downtown Tucson Partnership and the University of Arizona Poetry Center! 🐦

From March 20, 2026 (just in time for spring) to June 1, explore a vibrant literary trail featuring 20 winning haikus displayed on acrylic signs in planters along Congress Street and Stone Avenue. 🌸

Kick off the season with a special community stroll on Saturday, March 21, at 9 a.m., where this year's judge, Paola Valenzuela, will lead participants through the trail as selected winners read their haikus aloud. 📚🌼
Celebrate the creativity of our community and rediscover the heart of Tucson!
