Half the fun of trekking down to Fourth Avenue this weekend has nothing to do with shopping.
It has everything to do with the sounds you'll hear as you stroll the avenue.
Tucked on three stages along Fourth Avenue, some of Tucson's brightest musical talent will be strutting their stuff.
You'll hear rock. Reggae. Rap. Folk. Funk. Blues. Country. Heck, you may even hear some classical. Or at least it'll bear a striking resemblance to the beauty and artistry of classical.
Dozens of acts will perform throughout the day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free.
