Looking for something a little unusual and "off the beaten path," in terms of culture? This weekend, January 30 and 31, Casa Grande Ruins National Monument near Tucson may have something for you: The 2nd Annual American Indian Music Fest.Native American music is perhaps best known by the drum beats featured in pop-culture Western movies. But Native music is far more than drums: Many of the featured artists at this year's festival are flute players, but at least one musician on the docket features classic guitar. Traditional native dances will also take a spot at the festival.
And what festival would be complete without vendors offering related items for sale, and of course, food booths. Unfortunately, there is no camping available at the monument, other than "VIP" spots, apparently only available by special request. There are several commercial RV parks near Coolidge, the town in which the monument is located.
