On December 3 the American Legion Los Angeles City Council (LACC) brought back their annual Tamale Contest and Car Show, consisting of tamales, cars, live music, and dancing.

This event creates a space for members of the American Legion Family to all get together, and allows for fundraising for programs to enrich the lives of veterans, active duty members, and their families.

Alhambra Post 139 hosted the festival, which had a great turnout!
