Say Cheese: Nachos Festival Preview

Katie Almazan

This is na-cho average festival! While some may deem there to be only a handful of ways to make the classic cheese and chips dish, Sacramento’s largest Nachos Festival is coming to rock your culinary world!

This family-friendly event will feature 40+ different nacho recipes, a beer garden, cute fashion finds from Wild Poppy & Co. and music from the Philharmonic & Opera. Perhaps you can’t have cheese? Not to fret! Vegan nacho options will be available, among other creative creations. Picture a gourmet take on carnitas nachos and even dessert “Oreochos” with Oreo cookies mixed in.

The festival will take place at Cesar Chavez Plaza on August 26th from 2-6:30pm. For tickets, visit sactownnachos.com. Below is a little sneak peek at just some of the delicious options they will be serving up. Our mouths are salivating at the mere thought of all the cheesy possibilities.

Want to win tickets? Two passes to the festival are up for grabs! Tag us on Twitter @downtownsac to tell us why you love nachos the most! Winner will be notified by Wednesday, August 23.
