Downtown Kalamazoo Salsa Cook-Off
- This event has passed.
It’s back! The 6th annual Salsa Cook-Off is coming to Downtown to kickoff Summer Restaurant Week and get your tastebuds primed with the taste of summer salsas. It’s your chance to explore Downtown, sampling our best salsa recipes and vote for your favorite, all while visiting new and familiar shops and restaurants.
Put on your walking shoes and start at the Information Booth on the Kalamazoo Mall (125 S. Kalamazoo Mall), and pick up a Passport that will guide you through to all of the salsa stops. Salsa sampling will be available at over 20 shops and restaurants in Downtown while the salsa lasts.
The week of the event, we will have instructions as to how you can text the word “SALSA” to a number. You’ll receive a link where you can rate every salsa all in one place! Support your favorite business and their salsa, or find a new favorite spot. Voting ends at 3 p.m. Winners are selected in the categories of Judges’ Choice, Overall People’s Choice, Best Retail, and Best Restaurant.
