The Three Sisters is an agricultural practice that plants three ingredients — corn, beans, and squash — together wisely. Each contributes in a different way but the combined result is a more nutritious soil and pest and weed prevention.

Instead of dining in the evening like the prior feasts, it’s a sampling-style brunch to celebrate these three ingredients.

In addition to the brunch, there will be plenty of mingling, live music, art activities, a bloody mary and mimosa bar, and more.

Tickets are $45 per person. The menu has not been released, but take a glance at the participating restaurants and vendors.

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.
