(This is the holiday season)...Unofficially, it is also known as Tamale Season.

Tamales are a traditional treat during the Holiday season in many homes around the County. We will soon find out who makes the best tamales, and at the same time we can enjoy more tamales. The Annual Tamale Festival in Heber is coming. The Festival is scheduled for January 18th. It will be held at Tito Huerta Park, 1165 Palm Avenue in Heber. The Festival is on a Saturday and will run from 10 am until 5 pm. The event will feature music, including live performances, a beer garden, a Jalapeno Eating Contest and more, as well as a lot of Tamales, from Imperial County, Mexicali and even Arizona and Indio.
