The City of Indio, in partnership with CUSP Agency, is pleased to announce the 29th Annual Indio International Tamale Festival in Downtown Indio.

Over the first weekend of December, the reimagined festival, set for 10 AM to 7 PM on Saturday, and 10 AM to 5 PM on Sunday, will bring in tens of thousands of food lovers, and hundreds of vendors.

Created in 1992, the Indio International Tamale Festival has become an annual celebration for foodies across Southern California and beyond. The rich heritage of the tamale, consistent community support and hardworking tamale makers have created a tremendous festival.

New for 2021, the City of Indio has partnered with experiential agency, CUSP, and its founding producer, Gopi Sangha, to elevate and enhance Tamale Festival through 2023. This partnership and joint-investment into the community experience will bring the festival a fresh creative vision spanning: branding, décor, musical bookings, food and beverage curation, attractions and more.
