The La Habra Tamale Festival has been a much loved community event for over 10 years, with the first event held in 2014. Now an all day event drawing about 10,000 attendees each year, there are multiple stages with live entertainment, food and retail vendors, community info and resources booths, a cantina, a children’s play zone, holiday tree lighting, fireworks show, and plenty of tamales. This is a wonderful city event to kick off the holiday season!

Live entertainment and admission is free to La Habra Tamale Festival, as well as many free activities. Some activities, including many in the Children’s Zone will require a wristband.
