Calling all taco and tequila aficionados: Grand Rapids is once again gearing up to host Michigan's largest Taco & Tequila Festival at LMCU Ballpark on May 3, setting the stage for a day packed with zestful eats, lively entertainment, and spirits aplenty. Outlier Events, the group behind the Mac and Cheese Festival and the Donut & Beer Festival, are the creative forces making this year's event a reality. As reported by WOODTV, Bailley Kluisza of Outlier Events stated, "We are thrilled to bring Michigan’s Taco & Tequila Festival back to Grand Rapids this year."
On the docket, expect over 25 vendors spreading culinary delights around West Michigan and a dizzying array of over 150 tequilas, margaritas, beers, and more, as per details shared by MLive. With various ticketing options for eager festival-goers, general admission includes 12 food and drink sampling tokens. At the same time, the event also caters to the kids with face painting and balloon artists, rounding out a day that's as much for families as it is for foodies.
The festival's organizers aren't holding back on the entertainment front, featuring a lineup announced by tacoandtequilafestmi.com that includes The Leaky Tikis, a Jimmy Buffett tribute band, alongside performers like Alex the Fire Breather and TikTok star @thatjugglinggirl. Named the honorary Kid Judge, one chosen young attendee under the age of 13 will be privileged to sample tacos from the participating vendors and contribute to the verdict on Michigan's Best Taco.
