Once again, the festival that is becoming a Tucson tradition, marks the beginning of the holiday season.

The 13th Annual Tucson Tamal & Heritage Festival at the AVA Amphitheater at Casino Del Sol will be held from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., Saturday, December 2.

The event is free to get in, and open to anyone with a massive appetite.

Do you think the best tamales in town come straight out of your kitchen? You can prove it by applying online and showing off your unique recipe.

Cash prizes from $150 to $500 are given for the top three contestants in each category, with the top prize of $750 going to the best all-around tamale winner.

Each tamale connoisseur will be judged in four categories:

  • Traditional red
  • Green corn
  • Gourmet
  • Sweet

Additional stands will feature artisan goods such as art, jewelry, bead work, and food vendors.

AVA Amphitheater at Casino Del Sol is located at 5655 W. Valencia Rd. For more information, visit casinodelsol.com.
