The second annual Tamale Festival returns to the Brewery Art Center in Carson City this Sunday December 14.
Last year, the event was so popular tamales sold out quickly, and now, the BAC and its vendors are going even bigger to accommodate the community support, and obvious love of tamales.
In addition to tamale tasting this year, there will also be multiple kids activity stations, artisans selling hand crafted wares, and so much more!
The event is from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

You will be selling your tamales to the general public and handling all your own sales.
There will be a contest for the Best Tamale, judged by a panel, and People’s Choice Tamale, voted on by the attendees.
There will be a $250 prize awarded to each winner.
Last year’s event drew over 1,000 attendees and tamales sold out fast!
Please be prepared for a very large crowd.
