Arizona's Scottsdale Culinary Festival will take place on the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall, April 8-9. Taste from more than 30 local eateries, and sip at a wine garden, beer garden, lounge or vodka deck.

With winter reluctantly waning and spring break season upon us, it's a good time to get outside or take a road trip, and a new season of festivals offers delicious destinations. April kicks off seafood celebrations from Arkansas to Oregon, food truck fetes from Kansas to South Carolina, and barbecue bashes from Alabama to Maryland.
