According to the city, virtual attendees will still be able to enjoy authentic Mexican food, cooking and dance classes, crafts and games.
It kicks off the first night Oct. 5 with a virtual cooking class for “holy guacamole and salsa dippin.’” The virtual class is at 6:30 p.m.
The lineup Oct. 6 is titled “Let’s Taco ‘bout a Good Meal.” It will include local restaurant discounts all day and a ballet folklorico class and performance at 6:30 p.m.
On Oct. 7, “Nacho Average Virtual Bingo” will be held online from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Participants can register at surpriserec.surpriseaz.gov by clicking on “Special Events” by noon that day for a chance to win prizes.
