The 7th Annual Tequila and Taco Music Festival makes its appearance in Ventura next weekend. This annual event, benefitting Food Share, has become a great reason to head up the coast a big to Ventura for an awesome weekend. Tequila, tacos, live music and more. Other food choices run all the way from fish tacos to ice cream. Beer too! One of the best things also is the proximity of the event to the downtown Ventura Beach area, a nice walk and you are at the ocean.
Saturday will include sampling of top-shelf tequilas and craft beers. Corazon Tequila, Los Vecinos Mezcal and Cazacanes Tequila are just a few of the tequilas guests will taste. Firestone-Walker Brewery and Mike’s Hard Lemonade will also be there for more beverage fun. With the gourmet street tacos and other favorites, no one should leave thirsty or hungry. Entertainment Saturday and Sunday is headlined by Adelaide out of Los Angeles, whose band specializes in Afro-Latin music and will keep the party moving. Also providing music Saturday are DJ Cue, InStone and Sambada.
Sunday, it’s all about the margaritas at the 7thAnnual Tequila and Taco Music Festival as Mas Margaritas takes place. This will be a relaxing day, with many different margaritas available for your sipping pleasure. Adelaide once again provides some great music while Bruno and the Hooligans perform a tribute to Bruno Mars. DJ Cue also provide musical entertainment Sunday. Also on Sunday, the gourmet street tacos and other treats will be available to make this the ultimate Margarita Sunday.
