Save the trip and eat at several Tucson restaurants at once.
JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort and Spa is hosting the Tucson 23 Mexican Food Festival, celebrating the “Best 23 Miles of Mexican Food in America,” once again from 6 – 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 15.
If it’s your first time hearing of the festival, it includes several restaurants that have been around for years, and can be found within a 23-mile area that includes the city of South Tucson, downtown, and midtown.
Here’s a thought, too. It could be the perfect gift for Dad, being that it takes place the weekend of Father’s Day. It’s comparable to Super Bowl Sunday, but on a Saturday and full of great food, demonstrations, live music, and more.

Tickets to the all-ages event are $65 per person and include menu samplings from over 20 Mexican restaurants, local wineries, and breweries.
Also, there are going to be limited tickets for kids between the ages of 11-17 years old for $10 each — they’ll be available to purchase at the door when attending with an adult who has pre-purchased a Tucson 23 ticket.
