SAVOR is more than a culinary festival—it’s a bold celebration of Arizona’s cultural identity, local economies, and connection to place. Co-presented by Art State Arizona, Local First Arizona, and the Tucson Botanical Gardens, this immersive event champions our shared missions: uplifting creative expression, supporting homegrown businesses, and cultivating deep-rooted community well-being.
As Tucson proudly stands as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, SAVOR brings that honor to life through over 60 of the region’s most innovative chefs, vintners, brewers, and food artisans—all offering tastings that spotlight heritage ingredients, local sourcing, and culinary creativity. Set amidst the lush living museum of the Tucson Botanical Gardens, this experience nourishes both body and soul—an invitation to gather, connect, and taste the future of Arizona’s thriving creative and culinary economy.
