Tucson Meet Yourself is a weekend-long festival that has been running since 1974 and takes place in downtown Tucson's Presidio Park near City Hall. The festival is set up each year by volunteers and is supported through local sponsors, Tucson Pima Arts Council and Arizona Commission on the Arts.

Booths and stages are set up from the Joel D. Valdez downtown library plaza leading into the park where over 26 different ethnic communities share their food and culture with those who attend. One of the highlights of the festival is the Tohono O'odham Circle Dance, an attraction that dates back to the start of the event, marked by generations of the oldest inhabitants of Tucson.

Members of the community are encouraged to apply each year to run booths and provide entertainment for the festival.
