About Us
Welcome to the 2008 Tucson Culinary Festival
In its sixth year, The Tucson Culinary Festival is the inspiration of the Tucson Originals, Tucson’s leading group of Independent Restaurants, TucsonOriginals.com. The festival celebrates the rich culinary spirit of Southern Arizona and presents a unique opportunity to discover the fresh local flavors that give Tucson its sense of place.
The Tucson Culinary Festival strives to make each festival inclusive to our wonderful and diverse community. In part, our mission is to make a difference by gifting a portion of the proceeds of the weekend events to three local charitable organizations – the Community Food Bank, New Beginnings for Women and Children, and the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Foundation.
The Tucson Culinary Festival is organized by a dedicated board of directors, which is composed of members of the Tucson Originals and community leaders. Board members work closely with a talented and devoted festival committee.
