You’re urged to get decked out in your favorite Hawaiian or tropical attire and eat up the delicious feast provided by Island Plate Lunch.

On top of the scrumptious plates of Hawaiian food there’s going to be performances by Hula Mai Ka Pu uwai, Siva Maia Polynesian Dancers, and the Sounds of Thunder Korean Drummers.

Tickets are $35 for adults and $15 for kids. You can get more information on the ticket pricing by calling (520) 512-0144.

Proceeds will go towards buying new computers for the Pan Asian Community Alliance’s computer lab.

Since Tucson became the first city in the U.S. to be named a City of Gastronomy, chef Janos Wilder and others have traveled to other “sister” cities around the world to share the region’s culinary history and unique foods.

Now, Wilder is ready to share the flavors he’s collected. The culinary tour is making the summer’s final pit stop in Burgos, Spain.

Those living in Burgos tend to feast on roasted meats, the savory local cheese Queso de Burgos, and fish dishes such as Bacalao a la Burgalesa – despite being inland.

The menu is available for more than a month at DOWNTOWN Kitchen + Cocktails. Take a glance at the menu to give your taste buds something to look forward to.

Think of it as a massive group project, in which everyone is participating, and at least 30 restaurants are releasing limited three-course meals at discounted prices.

The event is sponsored by Visit Tucson and is focused on putting an array of dining experiences on display, all while supporting the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.

The three-course dinners will range from $25 to $35 a person.

More local restaurants are welcome to register for the 10- day celebration, too, and help raise funds and awareness for the Community Food Banks of Southern Arizona.
