The Downtown Santa Ana Tamalfest returns for its 6th year as the city's premier annual family-friendly food and entertainment festival. Brought to you by DTSA Feel Good Events, the 2025 Tamalfest is committed to curating the best in local food, vibrant businesses, and stellar live entertainment. This year, we are showcasing 15 incredible local restaurants and expecting well over 12,000 people. Our goal is to sell over 40,000+ tamales, so please RSVP to help our vendors prepare! In addition to being a free-admission event, Kitson Street is back as the entertainment partner, providing an amazing lineup of music, plus we'll have local business supporters, dedicated kids' activities, and plenty of social media photo opportunities, making this an unforgettable night not to be missed.
