We may not be able to gather in large crowds yet, but that won’t stop us from celebrating the community we love! This year, Celebrate Oro Valley will be a virtual event built around the event’s five foundational pillars as outlined below. Over the course of five days, we’ll talk about each of those pillars and will have fun activities and crafts for kids.
