Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
For the love of agave spirits, it’s that time of year again when small batch tequila makers line the halls of US Airways Center and pour up shot after shot of their boozy wares at Phoenix Tequila Fest.
While the event features all day tastings of anejos, reposados, and blancos, you can also enjoy learning from the pros both in the distilling and bartending worlds about trends, infusions, growing agave, making tequila, mixing it up, and more. Live entertainment, including mariachi bands, will entertain crowds as they sip their way through samples of the spirit. Should you get hungry, Mexican restaurants from around the Valley will be serving taquitos, ceviche, chimichangas, and more.
If you’re ready for all of that imbibing, head to the Phoenix Tequila Fest on Sunday, November 16, from noon until 5 p.m. at US Airways Center located at 201 East Jefferson Street in Phoenix. Tickets for the 21-and-over event are $45. You can buy them in advance and find out more about the event by visiting www.phoenixtequilafest.com.
Sat., Nov. 15; Sun., Nov. 16, 12-5 p.m., 2014
