The music lineup is set for Dusk Music Festival. There’s going to be plenty of food options, too, Saturday, November 9 – Sunday, November 10.
One thing’s for sure, you’re not going to be left to fend for yourself when it comes to entertaining your cravings — the Dusk Music Festival food options will take care of the other entertainment.
Much like the previous year, the food at the music festival is going to be a big deal. Tucson FEASTS will be highlighting the city’s thriving food scene, alongside Tucson Foodie’s founder, Adam Lehrman.
Adam helped create this year’s lineup of chefs from the Gastronomic Union of Tucson (GUT), and restaurants and food trucks like Dante’s Fire, Culinary Dropout, Zinburger, Empire Pizza, Rollies Mexican Patio, Jake’s Donuts & Treat Trolley, and Purple Tree Organic Açaí.
The food lineup is meant to be tasteful for every budget, giving you the opportunity to still splurge on the General, VIP, and Platinum Tickets that are still available to purchase.

Matt Sterner
More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
