Make a date for these annual fall celebrations of our local culinary scene.
Local-food enthusiasts in the Phoenix area have a lot of opportunities to celebrate (and sample) our region’s delicious bounty. There are festivals dedicated to everything from homemade tamales to venerated five-star restaurants. Some events showcase the hottest, of-the-moment food trends, while others look back at historic cooking methods. And don’t forget about the drinks: Winemakers, brewers, and distillers get their moments in the spotlight, too. So as you’re filling in your fall culinary calendar, make sure you leave room for these food and drink festivals in particular—they’re not to be missed.
