UNESCO City of Gastronomy

UNESCO's City of Gastronomy project is part of the wider Creative Cities Network. The Network was launched in 2004, and organizes member cities into seven creative fields: Crafts and Folk Art, Design, Film, Gastronomy, Literature, Media Arts, and Music. Tucson has been chosen and in 2015 along with San Antonio and were the only 2 cities in the US to achieve this high distinction of culinary distinctiveness. Our food here dates back to about 4,000 years ago and tells a beautiful story about our city's culture and heritage. Choosing to support these local culinary businesses, means honoring the history with every savoring bite.
