The Tucson heat continues to melt everything around us, but at least our kids have some live, indoor entertainment to distract them for the next few weeks.
Two fests, geared toward the city鈥檚 youngest, are set to take place within the next month, starting with Tucson Kids Fest, to be held at the Tucson Convention Center, 260 S. Church Ave., Saturday, June 25, and Sunday, June 26, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
