City of Tucson issued the following annoucement on Jan. 27.
The 2022 Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Showcase officially begins this Saturday, Jan. 29, and runs through Feb. 13. Several shows have opened already and the Showcase will be in full swing by Feb. 1. The original public show that started it all, The Tucson Gem & Mineral Show, operated by the Tucson Gem & Mineral Society, will open at the Tucson Convention Center on Feb. 10 and run through Feb. 13 (link below). The best information about the shows is available in the Official Gem Guide (link below). This web app of the guide is hosted and operated by Visit Tucson and is developed in partnership with the City of Tucson every year. It provides clear information on show locations, hours, and if the shows are open to the public, wholesale only, or open to both, and it is one of the most important ways that the City supports this annual effort. Due to COVID-19 transmission levels in our region, shows have implemented safety procedures and made changes in their operations with which attendees should plan to comply. Masks are required in Pima County for all indoor spaces where a social distance of a minimum of 6 feet cannot be maintained. For information about vaccines, testing, and masking, please read the flyer from the Pima County Health Department (link below).
