With the promise of delicious tamales, entertainment and more, well over 100 locals packed the Brewery Arts Center on Sunday for the first hour of the inaugural Carson City Tamale Festival.
Organizers didn’t know what to expect being it was the first of its kind in Carson City. But by a half hour into it, they had an idea as the line to get in extended and stretched along the sidewalk on King Street.
The line may be long but the tamales are delicious and worth the wait, according people making their way through the vendors, sampling along the way. See the photo gallery below.
The all-inclusive community event celebrates Hispanic culture and the sacred tamale. Along with tamales and live music, there’s dancing, kids’ activities and more.
Vendors include:
— Bubbly Waffle Hub (yes, they are serving tamales)
— La Tapatia Ice Cream Shop
— Daddy’s Tacos
— Central Market
— Rocio Gonzales
— Lady Tamales
— Maria Guadalupe Ramirez
— Plus art by Tonalli Arts and Imports and Nichim
The event continues until 5 p.m. at the Brewery Arts Center, 449 West King Street, Carson City.
