February Events

Tucson Gem, Mineral and Fossil Showcase (Tucson-Southern Region)
For three weeks every winter (typically the final week in January through the middle of February), the world meets in Tucson as it becomes a bustling, international marketplace of buyers and sellers at the Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase.  For over 55 years, the "Gem Show" is much more than a single event at one location. Rather, there are thousands of participants and attendees at nearly 50 sites around town. Dozens of shows take place at the same time - in giant white tents, at hotels and resorts and at exhibit halls.
