Zwolle Tamale Fiesta

The Zwolle Tamale Fiesta is a celebration of the area's Spanish and Indian heritage. The fiesta continues to bring in large crowds to our parish every year. Festivities start on Thursday with a Kick-off Supper. The fiesta, held on the second weekend of October, is filled with activities including a parade, tamale making demonstrations, arts and crafts, street dance, treasure hunt, costume contest, mud bog, music, and LOTS OF TAMALES! Also featured are pageants, arm wrestling contests for all ages, a trail ride, rides and food booths, a very popular Mud Bog Race for trucks, and over 20,000 dozen tamales for sale. This event is held at the Zwolle Festival Grounds. For more information, visit https://zwolletamalefiesta.com/ or call Cindy Ezernack (318) 508-0035 or Chris Loupe: (318) 645-2388.
