Partnered with Visit Tucson, SAACA organized over 35 local organizations, restaurants and artists to form the Tucson 23 Mexican Food Festival, which boasts “The best 23 miles of Mexican food.”

With an estimated 1,100 attendees, the second annual festival was a smash hit. Patrons explored the attractions displayed at the beautiful venue hosting the festival, JW Marriott at Starr Pass.
