April Foodie Events: Local Brews, Outdoor Festivals, Elegant Plates & More

We’re springing into April like…

Allergies and all 😉

But the warmer temps (with cooler evenings), outdoor festivals, and seasonal menu launches are all part of the reason we love spring.

When you aren’t getting snaps of the wildflowers at Picacho Peak (without harming them, of course), get yourself tickets to festivals such as the Agave Heritage Festival and Wine Gone Wild. Grrr.

Not a festival goer? There’s an elegant dinner… and tacos to be consumed.

More to come
