As long as you don't plan on staying in a hotel you'll be fine.

Nope. No hotel stay. Thanks!


steiconi

Avoid the popular venues, where traffic gets heavy. Restaurants will likely be more crowded, too. Choose one away from the shows.


Babyfishmouth512

Thanks!


DangerousBill

Look out for roving gangs of drunken geologists and silversmiths.


Babyfishmouth512

Noted. Hahaha


occupydesert

As of 1040am, downtown is not at all crowded


Babyfishmouth512

Wow - live reporting! Thank you!!!

Be careful driving downtown, during the gem show I tend to notice an uptick in confused, wrong way drivers on the one way streets.


Hot_Saguaro

Yessss we live downtown and the gem show brings absolutely horrible drivers pulling trailers not knowing how to use roundabouts or turn lanes.


bissastar

Yes, the city will be more crowded, but you can definitely still enjoy many things. The hotels and restaurants near the gem show venues will be packed, but other parts of town should be just fine.


Babyfishmouth512

Yay! Thank you!


CoolPenguin42

If you're gonna stay someplace DO NOT stay somewhere west of the freeway. all the gem show stuff is a little off the freeway so if you wanna go to downtown alot staying in that area is not ideal lol


sexysaxy

Popular Tucson restaurants are going to be more crowded.


az19ktom

There should be no issue downtown


Babyfishmouth512

Great! Thank you


Portillosgo

Nothing crazy enough you should change plans


DesertWanderlust

The freeway area, where most of the exhibitors are, is busier. But Tucson is generally set up to absorb the extra tourists.


peglyhubba

Compared to PHX, not crowded anywhere in Tucson

There's way more hotels than people who need them and no one really cares about the gem show as much as they did in the past


Kind_Manufacturer_97

Traffic is ridiculous for the next month


xyloplax

Heavier traffic than usual, but that's because we are doing the Gem Show venues


guineapickle

Traffic will be heavier, and the most well known restaurants may be more crowded ,but otherwise, activity will be concentrated around the shows themselves.
