Dillinger Days is an annual event that celebrates the historic capture of notorious "Public Enemy No. 1" John Dillinger. Dillinger and his gang of bank robbers were famously captured at the Hotel Congress in downtown Tucson in January 1934. The hotel throws a big bash every year to commemorate the event and celebrate Prohibition-era drinks, fashion, food, and history. The event includes live music, whisky tastings, historical lectures, a walking tour of downtown Tucson, a vintage car show, and reenactments of Dillinger's capture.
