Viva La Vida

Taco & Tequila Festival

FOOD

Viva La Vida: Taco & Tequila Festival brings you the true taste of Latin America, with every taco, churro, and bite crafted by local Latino-owned food trucks and restaurants. From family recipes to regional classics with a modern twist, it’s all made with heart — and zero shortcuts.

While Latin cuisine takes center stage, you’ll also find a few local favorites serving up non-Latin eats done right.

Come hungry and celebrate culture through food.

MUSIC

Two days. Two Stages. 13 Bands. From Grammy-winning Latin funk to high-voltage salsa, Caribbean reggae, and Boricua hip hop powerhouses, this year's stage is STACKED with global rhythm and local pride.
