About this Event

The mission of the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is to inspire people to live in harmony with the natural world by fostering love, appreciation, and understanding of the Sonoran Desert.

  • 242 animal species
  • Plants from 1,200 taxa — 56,000 individual specimens
  • One of the world's most comprehensive regional mineral collection


Join us for a day filled with Music at the Museum! Experience live performances and hands-on activities at the beautiful Desert Museum. Don't miss this harmonious celebration of culture, creativity, and community!
