What better way to kick off the summer season than with a flyy event including local vendors, music, food trucks, and a thrifted fashion show hosted by local fashionistas?
Tamale Fest 2015 is the first annual fundraising event for Centro Cultural Latino de Memphis. The festival will have main stage live entertainment, a tamale team cooking contest, a tamale tasting tent, a kids’ activity corner, art vendors, food trucks and a photo booth.
The purpose of the Tamale Fest is to share and celebrate Latino culture, bring people together for a positive cultural experience and to raise money to allow Centro Cultural to expand their programs and administration.
Centro Cultural was founded in 2011 and has been operating as a 100% volunteer-run organization. Accomplishments to date include over 60 cultural workshops taught, 13 showcases celebrated, 6 art exhibits produced, collaboration with Dixon Gallery and Gardens produced the first contemporary Latino Art exhibition in Memphis, current development of a book based on immigrant stories in Binghamton and over 5000 hours of volunteer time given.
