Get out your checkbook (they probably don’t accept checks, actually), because tickets for the 11th annual Devour Culinary Classic go on sale this month. The 2020 version of the multi-day, highly anticipated food festival will once again be held at the Desert Botanical Garden, this time from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on both February 22 and 23.

Tickets go on sale to the public come Friday, November 22, but Local First Arizona, Desert Botanical Garden, and Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance (SAACA) members may purchase tickets as early as November 8 — or tomorrow. That's because 100 percent of the proceeds from the Devour Culinary Classic benefit the community efforts of these three organizations. These members may use the code "LOCAL" to purchase tickets during the pre-sale.
