—

Oro Valley is a community rich in events that not only entertain but also strengthen the bonds among its residents. Two standout offerings, ‘Chillin’ at the Chul’ and the Senior Services Collaborative, exemplify how local gatherings can foster connection and collaboration.

**Chillin’ at the Chul**

Hosted at the picturesque Tohono Chul gardens, ‘Chillin’ at the Chul’ offers a refreshing escape from the summer heat, inviting residents to enjoy live music, delicious food, and fun family activities—all free of charge. Every Friday and Saturday evening throughout the summer, this event showcases a diverse array of activities designed to engage all ages. From Paint & Sip nights to Silent Disco and family-friendly nature-based activities, there’s something for everyone. With its beautiful desert garden setting, ‘Chillin’ at the Chul’ serves as an ideal venue for residents to unwind, meet new friends, and create memorable experiences.

**Senior Services Collaborative**

In contrast to the leisurely vibe of ‘Chillin’ at the Chul’, the Senior Services Collaborative Monthly Meeting focuses on addressing important challenges faced by the senior community in Oro Valley. Scheduled for August 12, 2025, at the Oro Valley Church of the Apostles, this meeting gathers local organizations and service providers to discuss resources, share innovative solutions, and improve access to essential services for seniors. Featuring guest speakers and an open discussion format, these meetings support networking and collaboration aimed at fostering a more supportive environment for seniors.

Through these two distinct yet complementary events, Oro Valley residents are provided with opportunities to engage socially, work collaboratively, and reinforce community ties. Whether through music and relaxation or practical discussions about senior care, these gatherings embody the spirit of unity that defines the Oro Valley experience.
