Eat, drink and enjoy the music of LeAnn Rimes at this year’s Scottsdale Culinary Festival. Set to take place April 8-9, the indulgent festival will be held at the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall and will be hosted by the Scottsdale League for the Arts.

With 16 studio albums under her belt, Rimes’ most recent album, Remnants, was released this past February and features the hits “The Story” and “Long Live Love.”
Rimes will perform on Saturday of the festival with other entertainment highlights including The Walkens, Share Rowe, Uncorked, 76th Street, Pistoleros and Thaddeus Rose. The weekend will also feature 40 local restaurants, 30 craft breweries, 20 bands, a teen cooking challenge, chef demos, a family zone, a wine garden and the Tito’s Handmade Vodka deck.
