The 4th Annual Tacos & Tequila Festival returns to Esplanade Park this Saturday, July 19, with free general admission and paid tequila tasting packages available. The waterfront park sits on the New River along the Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk, with programming running through the full day.
Per the organizers' Instagram, the day's lineup covers tacos, handcrafted margaritas, tequila tastings, live music, local vendors, and lawn games. The post describes the event as "one of Fort Lauderdale's biggest summer festivals," without disclosing attendance figures or capacity.
Reaching a fourth edition marks meaningful continuity for an outdoor South Florida event — the market sees consistent turnover among warm-weather concepts that don't extend past a first or second year. The free-gate model reduces the entry barrier compared to ticketed tasting events, with tasting packages available as an add-on for those who want a more structured pour.
Operators and businesses interested in vendor placement or feature opportunities were directed in the Instagram post to comment "NEWS" for more details. No presenting sponsor was listed publicly.
The festival runs July 19 at Esplanade Park on the Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk. No rain date has been announced.
