Eat all the tamales of your dreams at Casino Del Sol's 19th annual tamal festival
Turkey dinners and insane shopping deals are on the horizon, but the real holiday magic starts on the first Saturday in December.
On that first Saturday, AVA Amphitheater is transformed into a tamal wonderland. Booths are covered with bags and bags of corn husk-wrapped deliciousness.
Nothing can come close to that magical feeling you get when you take your first bite of a red chile tamal. Once you get a mouthful of the masa and spicy shredded beef, that warm holiday feeling washes over you.
Casino Del Sol is making sure everyone gets to experience the holiday magic that tamales bring.
On Saturday, Dec. 7, Casino Del Sol will host their 19th annual Tucson Tamal and Heritage Festival, bringing tamales, music, vendors — and even more tamales — to the AVA Amphitheater
The festival even holds multiple tamales contests assessed by more than 50 judges and split in four categories: traditional (red chile), green corn, gourmet and sweet.
Being a judge for a tamal contest, now that is a dream job!!!
