El Paso Festival Brings a Margarita Tasting Competition to El Paso on April 25, 2026
El Paso, TX — Margarita lovers are invited to sip, savor, and vote at the El Paso Margarita Festival on Saturday, April 25, 2026. This one-day event is the ultimate margarita tasting competition, bringing together 2,500 margarita lovers to help crown THE BEST MARGARITA in El Paso.
Hosted by the International Margarita Organization, the festival features a head-to-head showdown between Round Rock’s top bars and restaurants. Attendees serve as judges, tasting a wide range of margarita styles — from sweet and sultry, to spicy and bold, to wild, out-of-this-world creations — and casting their vote for their favorite.
Each entry ticket includes TEN 3.5oz margarita samples, the largest pours allowed by law, each served over ice by participating Houston bars and restaurants. The winning bar or restaurant will receive $1,000 and ultimate bragging rights.
In addition to the margarita tasting competition, the El Paso Margarita Festival will feature a live DJ, street food vendors, a beer garden, and a chance to win a dream trip to Mexico. A portion of the proceeds supports children’s charities, allowing attendees to enjoy the festival while giving back.
How the Festival Works
Guests choose General Admission or VIP tickets for early entry and perks
Upon arrival, attendees receive a Margarita Sampling Card & Voting Chip
Guests sip through 10 margarita samples
Attendees can dance, eat, drink, and enter the Mexico trip raffle (proceeds go to charity)
Votes are cast to determine who takes the crown — and who wins the vacation
