Flavor of Arizona Festival
The inaugural Flavor of Arizona Festival will take place April 15, 2023, at Boyce Thompson Arboretum, 37615 East Arboretum Way, Superior, Arizona.
The festival, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m, will showcase Arizona agriculture and purveyors of locally produced food and drink — from mesquite and prickly pear to farmer’s market delights and Arizona wines.
Event highlights include live cooking demonstrations, food sampling, entertainment, gardening demonstrations, and an interactive art installation. Wine and beer gardens at the festival will feature libations from vineyards, breweries, and distilleries statewide.
Tickets range from $40 to $50, including five tasting tokens and free parking.
Proceeds from the Flavor of Arizona Festival will directly support Boyce Thompson Arboretum, a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring appreciation and stewardship of desert plants, wildlife, and ecosystems through education, research, and conservation.
Boyce Thompson Arboretum, Arizona’s oldest and largest botanical garden, is managed by the nonprofit Boyce Thompson Southwestern Arboretum. The 372-acre facility has nearly five miles of paths and trails through plant exhibits from 11 of the world’s deserts, a native riparian habitat, and colorful specialty gardens.
