One of the best cultural holiday traditions in and around the Phoenix area is the 8th Annual Food City Tamale Festival. This festival is held as many Hispanic families around the globe celebrate the holidays by making Tamales (including dessert Tamales….grub!) with their local faith based groups and sell them at the Tamale Festival to raise funds for their given organizations.
The festival is located in Downtown Phoenix on Washington St and in addition to the Tamales, there will be music and family style entertainment. There will also be a selection of Southwestern Latino arts and crafts on display and for sale.
The Festival will take place on the following days and times:
Saturday December 13, 2008 from 10 AM to 6 PM
Sunday December 14, 2008 from 10 AM to 6 PM
In addition there will be a Best Tamale contest starting at 2 PM. Tamale makers will be competing for a wide array of prizes.
Plan ahead as organizers are expecting tens of thousands of people attending this two day festival.
…and the best part of this festival?
Admission is FREE!!
Look, I’m going to put it very simply….
If you LOVE not good but GREAT Mexican food, you DO NOT want to miss this festival.
