TLACC's 6th Empanada Tasting
The Tennessee Latin American Chamber of Commerce (TLACC) and Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC) are joining together again to present a tour of the flavor, culture, and rich diversity of Nashville’s Latin American communities with TLACC’s 6th Annual Empanada Tasting Event at the historic War Memorial Auditorium on Wednesday, June 1 from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Advance tickets are $35 and go on sale Friday, April 1, at 10 a.m. at TPAC.org, by phone at 615-782-4040, and at the TPAC Box Office, 505 Deaderick St.
With each $35 advance ticket to the event, guests will receive four empanadas, a dessert, and a soft drink or water. Additional drinks, including a cash bar, will be available from TPAC concessions. This popular celebration of Latino culture also features lively music, networking, and a chance to vote for which vendor you think should win the audience prize. A limited number of walk-up tickets will be available for $40 on the day of the event.
Vendors for the event include Salty Cubana, Delicias Colombianas, Don Beto’s and Two Peruvians & A Truck, with others to be announced.
“After these last two difficult years, I’m grateful that TLACC, in partnership with TPAC, will once again be hosting our signature event, the Annual Empanada Tasting,” says Victor Berrios, TPAC Board Member and President of the Tennessee Latin American Chamber of Commerce. “We have several fantastic businesses and vendors already lined up and eager to showcase their delicious empanadas. I look forward to seeing everyone at this year’s event where we can break bread together.”.”
The 6th Annual Empanada Tasting Event, which supports and celebrates Latino-owned restaurants and vendors, is sponsored locally by HCA Healthcare/TriStar Health, Capstar Bank, Nissan North America, and Jani-King of Nashville.

It means you’ll be unable to see the entire stage from those seats.
We sell these seats because for many fans the limited view is not a problem, and the tickets are clearly labeled at time of purchase (see photo below). Limited view seating varies event to event and could be something as small as a tiny corner of the stage being blocked from view. Call our box office at 615-782-4040 for additional information on limited view seating.
Seats marked with “Limited View” during purchase path
Many shows impose ticket limits to allow as many people as possible to have equal access to seats. This is done as a deterrent to third party vendors, i.e. scalpers, who may purchase large blocks of seats and then resell them online at an inflated cost. The term “household” refers to any shared information on one or more accounts. This includes, but may not be limited to matching names, mailing and billing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and credit card numbers. Any households that purchase more than the allowed number of tickets may have their order(s) refunded without notice.
