TamalFest DC: Another great festival!
By hola | Published | 2 Comments
TamalFest DC took place yesterday at Bell Multicultural High School with a large and enthusiastic crowd that sampled tamales from five Latin American countries plus pasteles dominicanos, the Dominican version to the dish. Thank you to everyone who made TamalFest DC happen again this year! The cooks, the organizers, the sponsors, the musicians and artists, and the hundreds of people who came out to support the festival and Hola Cultura’s work. We had a blast and hope you did too!
The competition was fierce for the best tamales with many people telling the organizers that they had a hard time choosing their favorites from all the delicious fare served.
