About this Event

Get ready to sip, savor, and spice things up at the Austin Margarita Festival 🍹 on Sunday, May 17th, 2026!


This isn't just any festival—it's the ultimate margarita tasting competition, and YOU are the judge. Join 2,500 margarita lovers for a flavor-packed showdown to crown THE BEST MARGARITA in Austin. 🎉


Here’s how it works: Your entry ticket (grab yours now for the best deal!) includes TEN 3.5oz margarita samples—the largest pours allowed by law—each served over ice by Austin's top bars and restaurants. 🧂 From sweet and sultry, to spicy and bold, to wild, out-of-this-world creations—you decide who shakes it best. 🍋

The winning bar or restaurant walks away with $1,000 and ultimate bragging rights.


But that’s just the beginning…

This festival is packed with flavor and fun:

🎧 Live DJ spinning party vibes all day

🌮 Street Food Vendors serving up mouthwatering eats

🍺 Beer Garden for the hop-heads

🎟️ Chance to Win a DREAM TRIP TO MEXICO—because the fiesta should never end 🪇


PLUS, a portion of proceeds supports children’s charities. So, you’re sipping for a cause!


🎟️ How to Join the Fun:

  1. Grab your ticket now – choose General Admission or go VIP for early entry and perks.
  2. Show up on May 17th and get your Margarita Sampling Card & Voting Chip.
  3. Sip through 10 unforgettable margaritas.
  4. Dance, eat, drink, and enter the Mexico trip raffle (proceeds go to charity!).
