It’s going to be a grand time at the golf course, including delicious barbecue, beer tastings for those 21 years and older, live music from local musicians.

Once you’ve devoured plenty at the Smokin’ Showdown you’ll have the option to vote for your favorite dish, along with a vote of your favorite barbecue sauce.

Tickets are $35 per person and includes all of the food you can stomach, beer samples, and one drink ticket.  Although, don’t wait too long because they’re $45 the day of.

Do you have what it takes to be the best darn cornholin’ athlete in the Old Pueblo?

If so, hopefully you registered before the October 13 deadline. Either way, it’ll be a great time to watch the teams compete. The Cornhole Challenge begins at 10 a.m., so don’t be late.

You’re not literally tasting the desert. In fact, you’ll learn about the foods found in the Sonoran Desert and then use those skills to incorporate them into your daily life.

There’s also going to be a friendly competition happening at the museum. Some of the local chefs from popular food trucks and restaurants will be battling to be crowned the Sonoran Harvest Champion. The chefs are required to use ingredients of the desert, much like prickly pear and mesquite, and attendees will get to vote for their favorite.

Ticket prices vary, so choose what best suits you. Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum members get $5 off any of the following tickets.
