The 10th annual Atascadero Tamale Festival kicked off Friday evening with its “Fiesta Friday” celebration.
Julia Gabor, a San Luis Obispo resident, shared her excitement about the event.
“This is my first year, pretty excited about it and I love the good food and it’s so fun in the music. It’s a great vibe,” Gabor said.
For those who missed Friday’s festivities, the festival continues Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Attendees can sample a variety of tamales from vendors and restaurants from across California, enjoy adult beverages, shop from local vendors and listen to live music. There will also be a “best” tamale, tamale eating and pet costume contests.
Admission to the event is free but organizers say, “dont forget to bring your wallet to purchase delicious food, activities, and merchandise.”
