Ride the Rail, Eat Salsa, Have Fun & Help Others

April 6, 2009 by Nick Bastian 3 Comments

Saturday, April 25th from 11am to 6pm, at Tempe Beach Park is a day that all salsa lovers mark in red on their calendars. It’s a day to “heat it up” – with the world’s best condiment – SALSA.

Whether you love to eat salsa or have a recipe that is sure to “catch on fire”, the 25th Annual My Nanas Best Tasting Salsa Challenge is an annual event that includes salsa tasting (both hot & mild categories), music, Cazadores Margarita Mix-Off (20 bartenders competing for “Best Margarita”) and entertainment with Champagne Tap, The Chadwicks, and Jody & Shining Star! Let’s not forget the PCH Hope Fun Zone for the kids.

With over 25,000 people expected and over 75 different salsa entries, this event is sure to be a success as a fundraiser for the Arizona Hemophilia Association. Discount tickets can be purchased on line. Adult discount tickets are $8.00 ($10.00 at the gate) and children 12 and younger are free. VIP tickets are also available starting at $50.00each.

Taking the light rail to the event will be a breeze, as well.  The light rail station is conveniently located at Mill Ave & 3rd Street.  If you do decide to drive, parking is available for $5 at the US Airways Garage.

    Chuck… The hotter, the better. Kinda like Los Dos. (some of the hottest salsa around)
    I’m gonna see if they need any more judges for the Margarita mix-off too. 🙂

    I’m with you both – I like *hot*, but I also have a tremendous appreciation for taste…. We attended last year, as well, and everyone had a great time – so much so, they’re already talking about this year’s event. See you there!
