FIESTA FRIDAY Tamale Festival Weekend!

Start this year's Atascadero Tamale Festival Weekend with A FUN Fiesta Friday!

Starting at 5:00 pm in Downtown Atascadero, Fiesta Friday is a great way to get a head start on tamale shopping and a taste of what's in store from some of this year's tamale vendors.  Plus, the evening will also feature adult beverages, including margaritas for purchase until 8:45 pm (hosted by the Central Coast Zoo Foundation), and live music with the Zongo All Stars band!  

Fiesta Friday is FREE to attend, but be sure to bring your wallet to purchase delicious tamales, adult beverages, and enjoy shopping Downtown!
