The ceremony is a moving and powerful experience that brings together people from different cultures and art forms. Many artists prepare the event's installation art, performers, and various altars.

The Maverick is Tucson's oldest and longest-running live country music venue, with a history spanning over 60 years. They take pride in their vast dance floor, three separate bars, pool tables, top-notch food, and dance lessons offered five nights a week. They only feature the best in live country music, and they have great drink specials every night. Founded in 1962, The Maverick relocated to a bigger and better location on Tucson's famous "restaurant row" of Tanque Verde Road. They aren't a trendy country-themed warehouse dancehall; they have an old-school honky-tonk heart with a Cheers-like attitude, where everybody knows your name.
