The memory of preparing and enjoying our families’ tamales during the holiday season is a cultural tradition.
The El Diablito Alumni Club has organized the festival for the past 12 years to showcase Yuma County’s best and finest tamales.
This all-day event features music, cultural dances, and a variety of tamales which have attracted a range of people including local families, senior citizens, teenagers and out-of-state travelers.
The ASU El Diablito Alumni Club, along with many local sponsors, has helped students achieve their goal of attending college for the past 19 years by providing over $400,000 in scholarships to local students attending ASU.
The Somerton Tamale Festival has helped boost the local economy by attracting thousands of visitors.
This event features over 44 vendors and showcases the community’s non-profit and school clubs.
This event was featured in Phoenix magazine as one of the top 52 weekend adventures in the state.
Jazz Night's at Julieanna's: Julieanna's patio with its award-winning cuisine, attentive service, and great live music that truly fits the restaurant's relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Jazz Nights at Julieanna's provides a variety of musical experiences: the highly regarded Yuma Jazz Company Quintet, Phoenix's guitarist and singer Pete Pancrazi, Yuma's own dynamic duo Jason & Elle, and the intimate YJC Trio.
Julieanna's welcomes 'walk in' dinner guests, but you can also call ahead to ensure a table close to the music — 928-317-1961.
