š“ Tamales are $6 each. Food and drinks are pay-as-you-go; some vendors are cash only, so please come prepared.

Why we celebrate:
La Tamalada honors La Candelaria, a Mexican tradition marking the close of the holiday season. Itās also tied to Rosca de Reyesāwhere finding the figurine means hosting tamales and atole for loved ones. What starts as a family gathering has grown into a community-wide celebrationā¦ and yes, there will be atoles!
With a larger space this year, weāre excited to make La Tamalada bigger than ever. We canāt wait to celebrate with you! š«āØ
Please note this is an outdoor event. Dress accordingly.
