La Habra's first Tamale Festival was held in 2014, and attendance was so great that the City decided that the event should be added to the list of over 100 annual La Habra happenings!  The all-day Festival has grown and draws in about 10,000 attendees annually!  The event features live entertainment on three stages, tamales, food vendors, retail vendors, informational booths, children's play activities, a cantina, performances from local dance studios, holiday tree lighting, and a Holiday Firework show!  The event also features a free special event shuttle that brings residents and visitors to the festival from convenient off-site parking areas.  Join us in 2024 for the 11th Annual La Habra Tamale Festival and be a part of our local history!​
