Why we celebrate:
La Tamalada honors La Candelaria, a Mexican tradition marking the close of the holiday season. Itâs also tied to Rosca de Reyesâwhere finding the figurine means hosting tamales and atole for loved ones. What starts as a family gathering has grown into a community-wide celebration⌠and yes, there will be atoles!
With a larger space this year, weâre excited to make La Tamalada bigger than ever. We canât wait to celebrate with you! đŤâ¨
Please note this is an outdoor event. Dress accordingly.
