Since 2008, the Devour Culinary Classic has brought together the culinary and beverage leaders who have established Arizona as a sought-after dining destination, and the 2026 event will be no different.
Initially created by Local First Arizona, along with Arizona’s top chefs, the Devour Culinary Classic shines a spotlight on Arizona as a destination food and dining scene worthy of national prestige. In partnership with Desert Botanical Garden and Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance (SAACA), this award-winning culinary festival features Arizona’s best chefs, purveyors, wineries and artists providing a sensory experience of desert sounds, tastes, sights and feel.
Ticket sales for the Feb. 21-22, 2026, event will open to the general public on Nov. 3 (members of Local First Arizona, Desert Botanical Garden and the Southern Arizona Arts and Culture Alliance received the first opportunity to purchase tickets through Nov. 2). This event sells out every year, so those interested in attending shouldn’t wait to secure a ticket.
