Join us in celebrating the holidays with tamales! Tamales available for purchase from over a dozen vendors PLUS kids activities, artisans, & more!Interested in selling your tamales? See below…
You will be selling your tamales to the general public and handling all your own sales. There will
be a contest for the Best Tamale, judged by a panel, and People’s Choice Tamale, voted on by
the attendees. There will be a $250 prize awarded to each winner.
Last year’s event drew over 1,000 attendees and tamales sold out fast! Please be prepared for
a very large crowd.

Environmental Health to participate. We are not allowed to accept home cooks at this
