Some people love a wine tasting, others dream of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Tequila lovers, now is your time. Head downtown for a night of tequila tasting, live music and (probably) some agave-influenced shenanigans. Sample up to 12 of over 50 different top-shelf tequilas and enjoy beer and drink specials, a 50/50 raffle and entertainment from The Sun King Warriors and One World Tribe.
Hit up the food trucks or purchase a VIP ticket for access to a DIY taco bar and more premium tequilas like Roca Patrón Añejo 44 and Don Julio 1942. With roughly half-ounce sample pours, you’re getting at least six tequila shots, if not more. Just know — once you start getting the urge to dance on the stage, it’s time to go home.
7-11 p.m. Saturday. $45 general admission; $125 VIP; $50 late registration (July 15 to July 20). Fountain Square, 520 Vine St., Downtown, tequilafestusa.com. More info here.
