Food Festivals

This is a hugely popular event and tickets sell out fast. Get them as soon as they go on sale. Arrive early. There are literally thousands of people who attend the event. They all have big groups of family and friends who get there early and reserve all of the tables. If you want to be able to sit down (and believe me, you do), you should plan on arriving early or sending someone in your party to arrive early and reserve a table for your group. Wine tastings are free but if you don’t bring your own wine glass, you’ll need to buy one. Memorabilia wine glasses cost 70 pesos (just over $5 USD). You can bring in ice chests with drinks and food. While there’s plenty of paella and wine to go around, you may want to bring other food, beer, waters, etc. There was water and soda available for sale as well as some paletas. The entire event is outside in the dirt under the trees. Wear appropriate footwear. August is also the hottest month in the Valley with temperatures reaching into triple digits so make sure you’re staying hydrated. While temperatures remain relatively cool under the shade of the trees, you may want to consider bringing a sun hat and make sure you wear clothing to help you stay cool.

Stumbled upon this last year and was amazed at all the community had to offer. Great food, so many vendors selling stuff. Great deals! Would recommend.
