Ventura’s beloved Tequila & Taco Music Festival will be returning July 9-10th to Surfer’s Point Live at the Ventura County Fairgrounds. Festivalgoers will be able to enjoy premium tequila sampling, a full schedule of live entertainment, delicious street tacos, refreshing craft beer and margaritas, and an artisanal craft market, all at an idyllic, outdoor beach setting, cooled by ocean breezes.
Embodying the endless summer of popular music and culture, powerhouse rock band Sugar Ray – co-founded by vocalist Mark McGrath and guitarist Rodney Sheppard – will headline on Saturday performing their catalog of carefree, summertime hits. Opening the day are Spanish-language Adelaide with an electrifying tribute to Latina Women including a rollicking set from Selena, Smooth Sounds of Santana bringing Latin-infused grooves, and Full Clip, a multi-cultural, rock en Español, reggae and cumbia band.
The party continues Sunday with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony – one of the greatest hip-hop acts of all time – performing an unforgettable set of hits and jams. Samba-Reggae-Funk group SambaDá and cumbia groundbreakers, La Sonora Dinamita will kick off the day with a blend of groovy tropical vibes.
A variety of top-shelf tequila brands will be participating in the festival’s Saturday and Sunday tequila tasting, and hand-crafted margaritas and other beverages will be available for purchase. Attendees will also be able to enjoy mouthwatering gourmet street tacos from a range of popular food vendors.
There are three levels of tickets available: the Tequila Experience that includes festival entry and top-shelf tequila sampling; the Margarita Experience – a pair of tickets that includes festival entry, two margaritas and two souvenir glasses; and General Admission tickets that include festival entry.
