Slider Throwdown at Kierland Commons

  • Kierland Commons 15205 North Kierland Boulevard Scottsdale, AZ, 85254 United States (map)

The family-friendly 2019 Slider Throwdown returns on Sunday, November 17. Kierland Commons, located at 15205 N. Kierland Boulevard, becomes home to this “battle of the burger” while helping the Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation (AFFCF) in their efforts to support local foster children in need. Food truck vendors will compete for the title of “Best Slider.” Slider experts will judge creative slider entries from participants including Drive Wood Fired Grill, Aioli Burger, Buzz N Bee, Two Fat Guys Grilled Cheese, Food Diva and Petrini’s on the Go. Attendees can also vote on their favorite slider to be honored with the coveted “People’s Choice” Award.

Admission is $35 and includes samples of all sliders plus three non-alcoholic drink tickets. A silent auction will take place during the event, with lots of exciting packages to be won, and live music by Lane Change will keep the crowd on their feet. Tickets to the 2019 Slider Throwdown are available at www.affcf.org.
