A new taco festival in downtown Phoenix is bringing together over a dozen taco makers for a party that includes agave tastings, specialty cocktails, cervezas and live music. Taco Fest PHX will be held Saturday, May 20 from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. at First and Moreland Streets. Guests must be 21 or older to attend and tickets ($40) are required.

Ticketed guests will receive a wristband with 6 tabs that can be used for drinks, including margaritas, cervezas and agave spirits sampling. Complimentary non-alcoholic drinks are available from Vita Coco, Topo Chico, NUTRL, Mucho Aloha and Alani Water. A limited number of $15 designated driver tickets are available.
