A strip of 12 food tickets will cost $8. That includes a $2-per-strip charge for city services, including trash removal and recycling. If you want to avoid the $2 city service tax, you can buy food tickets at Dominick's grocery stores before the festival starts.
The event runs from June 27 to July 6
