This year, Lotería has a new twist with one festive night at Arizona Center. We are so excited to partner with local vendors and community members to bring you a night full of food, fun, and friends. Don’t miss the iconic Emcee of the night, The Funky Latina, who will be announcing each Lotería game card. 

Everyone is invited to play the traditional game of Lotería while enjoying food for purchase from local vendor Willie’s Taco Joint and be the first to get a taste of Origen – a new contemporary Mexican cuisine concept coming soon to the Arizona Center! Origen will be sampling handcrafted mocktails and small bites previewing their upcoming menu.

Enjoy music by DJ duo Vinyl Vagos, shopping with Mujeres Mercado, Arizona’s largest Latina market, and a make-and-take craft station for the whole family, led by The Crafty Chica. Be sure to check out the LIVE painting session by local community artist Adrian “AWER” Garcia.

The first 100 people to show up to play Lotería will win a commemorative enamel pin. 

Details: Lotería will be hosted on September 19, 2024, at The Grotto at Arizona Center, located at 455 N. 3rd Street. Registration begins at 6:00 p.m., and the game starts at 7:00 p.m. Free to attend.

Parking Information:

2-hour validation is available for attendees at the 5th Street and Fillmore Street garage. Attendees must go to the Arizona Center information table to have your parking ticket validated. Metered street parking is also available.

HOW TO PLAY

Have fun while playing the game on a traditional “tabla”, which is a game card just like Bingo. Retrieve your tabla from a DTPHX staff member on-site and get ready to play! 

Each tabla will feature various art in each square. Once you hear a card that corresponds with the artwork represented on your tabla, be sure to cross it off with a DTPHX sticker provided. Each card will be announced by this year’s Lotería Emcee, The Funky Latina. 

HOW TO WIN

Players who get four across, in a row, diagonally, or in a two-by-two box (4 images) anywhere on the tabla are entered to win their favorite door prize.
