September 24, 2024 (TUCSON) – Experience Chinese Chorizo in one of a kind dishes, innovative cocktails, and dynamic cultural programming at the 3rd annual Chinese Chorizo Festival (CCF). Running for over a month from Friday, October 4th – Sunday, November 10th, at multiple locations in Tucson and Phoenix, participants will uplift the overlooked story of Mexican and Chinese immigrant solidarity through the revival of the Chinese Chorizo. Originating from some 100+ Chinese grocery stores that once existed in Tucson, AZ during the late 1880’s-1970s, this forgotten delicacy has become a symbol for community solidarity. Proclaimed Chinese Chorizo Month in Pima County, the Festival program organized by Chinese Chorizo Project (CCP) promotes intersectional solidarity, community collaboration, historic restoration, and cultural and artistic enrichment. More than 25 participating restaurants and food vendors across Tucson and Phoenix will build community bonds surrounding a dish incorporating Chinese Chorizo donated and produced by CCP’s chef & artist Feng-Feng Yeh. Vendors will keep all proceeds resulting from the Festival and will be promoted on various social public forums, which will be supported by CCP’s strategic media partner Tucson Foodie.
