We recently welcomed five young javelinas to their new home at the Desert Museum and now that they have settled into life on the Desert Loop Trail, we're asking you to help come up with creative names for them! The prize? Winner gets five tickets to our Taste the Desert Cool Summer Night, along with 5 tasting tickets. Contest closes May 8th.

High summer is the beginning of the O'odham calendar and also the time of year when our iconic saguaros begin to fruit! Start your morning with a blessing and song performed by our O'odham friends and hear family stories about the importance of the saguaro before gathering fruit in the traditional O'odham manner.
