About this Event

Get ready to sip, savor, and spice things up at the Columbia Margarita Festival 🍹 on Saturday, July 25th, 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 Columbia. 🎉


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 Columbia'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 July 25th 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!).
  5. Vote for your favorite margarita—then stick around to see who takes the crown… and who wins the vacation!
