Where is the event located?
The Tacos 'n Tequila Fiesta will take place at a historic venue in downtown Greenville – The Old Cigar Warehouse at 912 S. Main Street. A map of the venue can be found on the homepage of this website. Part of the festival is outdoors, so dress appropriately and bring rain gear if the weather is looking precarious.
How old do you have to be to attend?
All attendees, competitors and staff will be 21 and older at this event. Even if you purchase a ticket, please be prepared to show your ID to enter. If you do not have your ID with you, you won't be able to get in, no bueno!
Where should we park?
There will be parking at nearby lots available for $5-$10, or you can look for street parking. You can also park for free at County Square, it's a short walk. Check-in will start at 2:30, we just won't open the gates until your admission time (3:00 for VIP, 4:00 for General Admission).
Who do I contact for questions if I'm competing?
How many drinks do I get? Is there a cash bar?
General Admission attendees get 8 tequila cocktail tasting tokens, VIP get 10. A drink token is good for 1 tequila cocktail sample or two tokens equal $1 at the cash bar and can be used for beer, wine or a full size cocktail. We'll take cash or credit cards, but we do put a 20% tip on credit cards automatically. Of course we encourage everyone to Think Wisely & Drink Wisely!
What kind of items are NOT allowed at the event?
For the safety and security of our guests, the following items are NOT allowed in. We will have security on-site conducting bag searches when you arrive:
- Weapons of any kind, including knives, handguns or blunt objects.
- Any liquids, including flasks, coolers, mini bottles, etc. You can bring an empty water bottle and we will have free water fill-up stations.
- No signs, propaganda, collateral, flyers, etc. This includes no soliciting or political activity.
- No chairs but blankets are allowed. We will have some seating available.
- No kiddos! Seriously, this event is 21 and up only, that includes no infants.
- No illegal or narcotic substances or paraphernalia. Sorry, no doobies on site please.
What are the rules for the Costume Contest?
Come dressed to the theme, and you could potentially be called up on stage and win the Best Costume! Please remember - no vulgar, culturally insensitive or provocative clothing. All individuals wishing to be entered into the contest must "check in" at the ticket entrance upon arrival. Winners must be present, and still in costume at the time of the announcement. Couples or group costumes will be judged together as one and awarded a single prize. View the details on the process for voting and participating in the contest here.
What kind of restrooms are on-site?
We have restrooms located inside The Old Cigar Warehouse under the staircase.
Do you really mean unlimited tacos?
We have a ton of restaurants on board, so as long as they have tacos, we'll be serving. Please understand our intention is to not run out, but it may happen, especially for the past winners. Get here as early as you can!
I bought a ticket and now I can't come, can I get a refund?
Unfortunately we don't offer any refunds on tickets, but you can certainly transfer your ticket to another party by clicking on your email ticket through Eventbrite. Remember, all attendees must be 21 years of age!
What if I have dietary restrictions? Are there vegetarian options?
Since we cannot restrict the types of tacos, side dishes or cocktail recipes created by our chefs and bartenders, we can't guarantee specific dietary restrictions. We will post the menus two weeks in advance and you can determine what you might be able to eat. We will allow those with dietary restrictions to bring their own food into the event if needed.
