About this Event

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 Oakland. 🎉

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 Oakland'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…
