Tequila & Taco Music Festival Returns This July

With restrictions on concerts and festivals lifted in California as of June 15, Ventura's beloved Tequila & Taco Music Festival will be returning on July 24 – 25 to the Ventura County Fairgrounds.  Festivalgoers will be able to enjoy tequila sampling, live entertainment, delicious street tacos, craft beer, refreshing margaritas and an artisanal craft market, all at an ideal beach-adjacent outdoor setting, cooled by ocean breezes.
 
A variety of top-shelf tequila brands will be participating in the festival's Saturday and Sunday tequila tasting, and delicious margaritas and other beverages will be available for purchase. Attendees will also be able to enjoy delicious gourmet street tacos from a range of popular food vendors.
 
The 90's pop icon and rapper Robert Van Winkle aka Vanilla Ice will set the stage on fire with his distinctive mix of rock, techno\ and old-school hip hop on Saturday, along with the hip hop/pop rap duo Tag Team.  Vanilla Ice reached international fame with his mega hit "Ice Ice Baby", the first hip-hop track to reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S.  His latest album, "Wisdom, Tenacity, and Focus" (WTF) has ushered a new era for Rob Van Winkle, showcasing a further diversified musical exploration as he draws from multiple genres from punk and country to ska and techno.

Tequila & Taco Music Festival is a production of the Surfers Point Live!event series launching in July by CBF Productions.  In 2020, CBF Productions produced the highly successful 'Concerts In Your Car' series, creating the first drive-in, socially-distanced theatre-in-the-round-style, live entertainment option in California.  Surfers Point Live! takes its name from the famous California surf break – Surfers Point – located steps from the Ventura County Fairgrounds, home to both Concerts In Your Car and Surfers Point Live!
 
"It's time to get out of your car, soak up the sunshine and enjoy the cool ocean breeze at the Ventura County Fairgrounds," said Vincenzo Giammanco, CEO of CBF Productions.
