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 30 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.
If the child is 10 years old and younger, they can get in for free.
