The team behind Salt & Lime Fiesta is excited to announce a new festival – Amore Soiree – Tulum Meets the Desert: 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Saturday, November 9 at the Scottsdale Civic Center.
Attendees will indulge in exclusive tequila tastings while soaking in the electrifying sounds of Afrobeat House music from Shimza, OVEOUS and Pasta Rada.
“We are excited to bring Tulum to the Valley and present over 70 brands of tequila for guests to try,” said event organizer Ramiro Boyorquez. “The exceptional experience will highlight all that the magnificent resort town has to offer.”
An exclusive tequila tasting area will give guests a unique opportunity to learn about tequila and sample some of the best varieties available. Beer, seltzer and mixed cocktails will also be provided at the beer garden event. Food vendors such as Santo and Los Olivos will offer tacos, tapas and other delicious food at the event.
There will be a main stage for music artists to recreate the vibrant atmosphere of Tulum and play electropop music. Festival-goers can browse the vendor area where companies will be selling personalized hats, candles and other items at the event.
As part of Salt & Lime’s commitment to the community, a portion of ticket proceeds will be donated to Laveen Youth Sports, a comprehensive youth sports program that provides before and after school sports activities for children in the Laveen Elementary School District.
