Sabor: Celebrating the Flavors of Puerto Rico

Join us for an evening of fun as we celebrate Sabor: Celebrating the Flavors of Puerto Rico!

CALA Alliance is pleased to announce the much-anticipated return of its annual benefit dinner and culinary event, Sabor. On October 20, 2022, at the Phoenix Zoo Neely Center, world-renowned Puerto Rican Chef Mario Pagán will create a one-night-only menu inspired by regional ingredients and culinary traditions of Puerto Rico. At this year’s event, Chef Pagán will design a five-course dinner for guests comprised of leaders from the Latinx, artistic, business, political, nonprofit, and community sectors.

At this iteration of Sabor, CALA Alliance is pleased to recognize its first Sabor Honorees. The organization will honor the five founding members of CALA Alliance. Each have demonstrated their commitment to the organization and our shared community.

Sabor proceeds directly benefit CALA Alliance and its mission to create shared arts experiences that encourage cultural understanding between people of the Americas. A Phoenix-based multidisciplinary Latinx arts organization, CALA Alliance collaborates with artists and arts organizations to foster Latinx artistic talent in the Metro-Phoenix region and beyond. CALA Alliance creates vital spaces for audiences to engage in artistic learning and presents public programs that create intercultural dialogue, revealing the complexity and dynamism of our communities. In so doing, CALA Alliance’s program acts as a catalyst to grow community understanding of contemporary social issues from Latinx, Indigenous, and Latin American perspectives.
