Tucson turned out for last fall’s “Boots In the Park”<\/a> one-day country music festival \u2014 so much so that the organizers are coming back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And they’re bringing a bigger event this fall when they add their “Party in the Park”<\/a> the same weekend at Rillito Park, 4502 N. First Ave.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Activated Events’ hip-hop\/rap “Party in the Park” with headliner Wiz Khalifa<\/a> kicks things off Oct. 17. Country singer Jon Pardi leads the country lineup for “Boots In the Park” Oct. 18.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Both festivals are produced by California-based Activated Events<\/a>, which puts on food and music festivals in California, Arizona and New Mexico.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This will be Khalifa’s first Tucson show since he played the Pima County Fair in 2024. That show came 13 years after he made his Tucson debut<\/a> in 2011 at the AVA at Casino del Sol.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He heads a lineup that includes Waka Flocka Flame, rapper B.O.B. and Petey Pablo, with additional guests to be announced.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pardi, who played a\u00a0Tucson Arena show<\/a>\u00a0in May 2025, will top a lineup that includes Texas country star Koe Wetzel, Corey Kent, The Wilder Blue and Myles Morgan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
