Arizona Taco Festival

The Arizona Taco Festival is quickly becoming one of the most highly anticipated annual food events in Phoenix and Scottsdale. The massive outdoor taco-fest is traditionally held in October at the Salt River Fields stadium in Scottsdale (check the website to confirm current event details). For lovers of the humble Mexican street food, there's no better place to be than at this "taco-topia," which features more than 40 of the Valley's best purveyors of fine tacos. There is a flat fee for attending the festival, and then a nominal fee per taco. The event also features live Lucha Libre wrestling, a VIP lounge, tequila tasting, a live music state and photo booths to commemorate all the fun you'll be having. The weekend-long event wraps up with a People's Choice award for best tacos at the festival.
