Whether you’re heading out on a full-fledged shopping spree or just looking for that one special, much-needed item, the stores, boutiques and shops located all around the Tucson real estate provide the ultimate shopping experience. In fact, scattered across the city are a number of beautiful indoor malls, as well as conveniently located individual stores. 
If you’re looking for an artsy shopping adventure, head over to Fourth Avenue between Broadway and Speedway, which is a well-known environment for both dining and shopping. This area is home to vintage clothing stores, locally owned bookstores (imagine that!), custom furniture stores, funky thrift stores and pretty much everything in-between. Fourth Avenue truly comes alive at night as people come out to enjoy everything it has to offer. Twice a year, Fourth Avenue plays host to a fun-filled street fair which allows people to set up their own exhibits; this is often one of the most talked-about events in the city of Tucson.
If you’re looking for a more traditional shopping experience, one really nice mall to visit is the Foothills Mall, located in (where else?) the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. The Foothills Mall contains not just nearly 100 stores, but also a play area for the littlest shoppers, a dynamite food court and a fifteen-screen multiplex movie theater.
Other malls in Tucson include El Con Mall, Park Place Mall, the Tucson Mall and La Encantada, which is an open-air shopping center featuring dozens of eateries, boutiques and shops. La Encantada, which is part of the Westcor shopping center chain, hosts events such as the Summer Concert Series, which brings live music and dancing every other Friday to one of the mall’s courtyards, and the Movies in the Courtyard Series, which shows a free movie and provides free popcorn on the last Saturday of every month. All you have to do is bring your own blanket.
