2nd Annual BAC Tamale Festival | Sunday | December 14th 2025

Join us in celebrating the holidays with tamales! Tamales available for purchase from over a dozen vendors PLUS kids activities, artisans, & more!

Interested in selling your tamales or becoming an artisan vendor? See below…

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.
