Scottsdale Culinary Festival

The Scottsdale Culinary Festival is a favorite Scottsdale festival. Held every April, this event is sponsored by the Scottsdale League for the Arts, an organization that hosts food-related events to raise funds for local non-profit organizations. The 2019 Culinary Festival runs from April 13th through the 19th at the Scottsdale Civic Mall. 100% of the net proceeds will go to supporting arts programs in Arizona.

About the Scottsdale Culinary Festival

Food, music, and beer! This year’s festival features over 35 restaurants and 18 live local bands performing on three stages. This year’s headliner is Berlin. Remember that song from Top Gun you couldn’t get out of your head? Well, this is that band! They will be on performing on the Stella Artois Stage on Saturday night. Bring your blanket, grab a brew and sit back and enjoy a blast from the past.

Buy a ticket to the Beer Garden where 200 specialty beers will be available for tasting. Presented by Four Peaks Brewing Company, you can sample different brews (in your very own souvenir mug) while talking to craft brewers and distributors. Or head over to Tito’s Handmade Vodka Lounge or Liquid Arizona. Presented by Phoenix Magazine, Liquid Arizona will feature Arizona spirits, wines, and craft beers.

The Family Fun Zone will have fun, crafts, and games with prizes for the kids! Admission to the Fun Zone is free with your Festival ticket.
