There’s a “big taco party” coming to Tucson. On Saturday, April 26, Rillito Park will become a taco, tequila, and music lover’s paradise during Taco Fest.
Activated Events — the creators of the traveling Boots In The Park experience — are trading in their cowboy boots for hip-hop, tacos, nachos, margaritas, ice-cold beers, micheladas, and more than 100 tequilas.
A big stage will be set up at Rillito Park for a hip-hop throwback party featuring T.I., Lil Jon, Fat Joe, Chingy, and Trick Daddy.
Additionally, lucha libre wrestling will hit a smaller stage near the middle of the grounds, and several of the “sleekest lowriders” in Arizona will be on display.
General Admission tickets are $79 per person, VIP is $159, and tequila tasting tickets are $29.
