SUMMARY:Agave Heritage Festival: Spirit of the Sierras - Bacanora Without Borders Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:  \nBacanora is born in the Sonoran sierras — and its future is increasingly binational. \nThis session begins with a focused panel born out of our community-led Field Notes series featuring producers\, exporters\, distributors\, and industry leaders examining how bacanora moves from rural production to U.S. markets. The conversation will address trade pathways\, regulatory frameworks\, distribution challenges\, and the economic realities of expanding a regional spirit across borders. \nModerated by Laura Espinoza (Asociación de Mujeres del Bacanora y Maguey de México)\nJorge Arreola (Bacanora Cola Blanca)\nMarcela Herrera Flores (GNO destilados S.A. de C. V.)\nJ. Benjamin Soto Beltrán (B8 El General Bacanora) \nThe panel transitions into a facilitated roundtable by Laura Espinoza\, inviting the public into direct dialogue around building stronger U.S.–Mexico partnerships. Together\, we will explore how growth can remain rooted in place\, support Sonoran producers\, and strengthen cross-border economic connection. \nConducted in Spanish and English\, this session is designed for meaningful binational exchange and practical next steps. \n  \nPart of the Agave Heritage Festival \nTo celebrate and sustain the cultural\, ecological\, and economic significance of agave through binational collaboration\, storytelling\, and community-rooted experiences. \nWe bring together voices from the Sonoran Desert and beyond to honor agave’s legacy and ignite collective action for a more resilient future.

SUMMARY:Agave Heritage Festival: Hijas del Maguey Film Screening + Q&A
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Tucson City of Gastronomy\, we present Las Hijas del Maguey (Daughters of Maguey) – a documentary that follows the Mujeres del Mezcal y Maguey de México\, a collective of women organizing for visibility\, fair recognition\, and a stronger future for the communities who sustain agave culture. Through their stories\, the film opens a wider view of mezcal\, not just what is in the glass\, but the labor\, land\, and power behind it. \nAfter the screening\, stay for a panel Q&A to keep the conversation going by exploring women’s leadership in agave\, the realities of rural livelihoods\, and what it takes to build an industry that is more equitable\, transparent\, and rooted in stewardship. \n  \n  \nPart of the Agave Heritage Festival \nTo celebrate and sustain the cultural\, ecological\, and economic significance of agave through binational collaboration\, storytelling\, and community-rooted experiences. \nWe bring together voices from the Sonoran Desert and beyond to honor agave’s legacy and ignite collective action for a more resilient future.
