Oakland Food Events presents...

¡Viva Tamales! Tamale Cook-off y Fiesta

Come celebrate Mexican Independence Day in the garden at La Borinqueña Mex-icatessen!

Oakland's food artisans will compete for the title of top masa in three categories -- meat, vegetarian/vegan, and wildcard. Come taste the diversity of tamale styles and flavors.

A ticket entitles you to a taste of all of the entries as well as a vote to choose who you think is Top Tamale!

All proceeds benefit La Clinica de la Raza's educational programs. La Clinica has been providing quality accessible healthcare in Oakland for 40 years.

Beer & Sangria will be available for sale.
