Taco enthusiasts have reason to get excited as Grand Prairie announces the arrival of the inaugural Texas Monthly Taco Fest at EpicCentral. According to a recent announcement, the festival is set to offer up a culinary fiesta on May 31 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. reports the City of Grand Prairie. It's not just about savoring the best tacos in Texas; this event also doubles as a benefit, with a portion of ticket proceeds going to the Zavala Family Foundation to aid restaurant industry professionals grappling with cancer.
Pinning down a ticket gets you admission and taco tastings from 15 vendors that made the cut onto Texas Monthly's recent Top 50 Tacos in Texas list. Mark your calendars – tickets go on sale February 4, at 11:00 a.m. and are available in a variety of tiers. The VIP Admission is pegged at $75, providing early access at 5:00 pm and bites from all featured taco joints, while supplies last. General Admission tickets are up for grabs at $50, with doors opening at 5:30 pm. For families looking to indulge, there's a Kids Admission for children aged 6-12 priced at $20; tots 5 and under get in free.
Beyond the eats, the festival promises a lively backdrop of live music to keep attendees entertained while they feast. Those willing to shell out for VIP access get the benefit of thirty extra minutes at the event, which might just be the perfect strategy to beat the inevitable lines. Given the cutthroat love for tacos in the Lone Star State, it's expected these tickets will sell out fast.
