You need to have a resale license to get into this show - in other words it is not open to the public. It really is a "must" for Tucson, so I suggest you start early and ask around in order to get a visitor's badge from a seller, or to be listed as a buyer for a friend who has a bead biz.

This venue has a half dozen or so African traders as well as just about anything else you can think of for beads and jewelry making.

Joe Loux had a new bead estate of mainly Venetian beads and I netted a pair of fancy tabs.
At African Bead Man (Alhaji Kaira) I found a stunning strand of fancy baby king beads.
