Dating back to 1920, Tucson's Rialto Theatre is not only a historical beacon on the city's landscape, it's an equally bright beacon of culture, music and entertainment. Its rich vintage atmosphere is only built upon with great live music from local, regional, and national names like Omar and the Howlers and Ben Folds. It also features special screenings of locally produced films as well as other events that always attract an eclectic but artistic group of observers and participants.
