The 7th Annual Tamale Festival will feature nearly 30 tamale vendors, half of those providing a variety of tasty tamales from restaurants here locally and from across California. There will be plenty of amazing food to enjoy! Expect a variety of other food options and a host of merchandise vendors too! This year we have added a stage in the downtown to bring you a robust entertainment lineup of music, plus the annual "Best" Tamale, Tamale Easting & Pet Costume Contests. Tons of photo opportunities and a great time to be had by visitors of all ages!
