DUSK Music Festival food returns to Jácome Plaza on Friday, Nov. 13, and Saturday, Nov. 14. Twelve vendors serve pizza, tacos, burgers, noodles, gelato, and donuts alongside the music. Gates open at 2:30 p.m. each day, and the festival ends at 11 p.m.
Tucson FEASTS anchors the festival menu
Tucson FEASTS serves as the festival’s food program. Organizers describe it as “a celebration of the flavors, culture, and culinary creativity” behind Tucson’s food reputation. General admission includes access to Tucson FEASTS, so guests pay for each dish at the vendor.
Vendors do not accept cash. Guests can pay with a credit card, a debit card, or a mobile wallet. The same rule applies to drinks and merchandise.
