Arizona Taco Festival 2025 - All You Need to Know
Arizona’s most beloved festival is returning to Phoenix! The iconic Arizona Annual Taco Festival will take place at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale on October 18th and 19th.
Awarded “Best Culinary Event” by Arizona Foothills, this festival brings together the best tacos all in one location. For two exciting days, guests will have the opportunity to taste tacos and other delicious bites from over 40 restaurants, food trucks, and street food vendors from around the valley, each showcasing various taco styles.
Pro Tip: These tacos can be quite innovative, so you’ll want to try as many as possible! I suggest sharing tacos with a friend, allowing you to sample a wider variety.
In addition to tacos, attendees can look forward to a selection of beverages, including a VIP agave tasting featuring over 20 brands of tequila and mezcal. The festival offers more than just tacos; the entire day will be filled with entertainment, including visual art activations, exciting pop-up experiences, Lucha Libre wrestling shows, shopping, and more. Plus, there’s a HUGE kids' zone with rides, bounce houses, and games, ensuring there’s something for everyone at the Arizona Taco Festival!
A variety of tickets are available based on your preferences and taste buds. The full Taco Fest experience provides access to the VIP & Agave Tasting area, which includes a wristband for drink samples, luxurious lounge seating, ample shade, and upgraded restroom facilities. Agave spirits tasting hours are from 12 PM to 5 PM on Saturday and 12 PM to 4 PM on Sunday. Designated Driver VIP tickets grant access to the VIP area but do not include any beverages. General admission tickets are also available, which allow entry to the festival; however, all tacos, food, and beverages are sold separately. Saturday tickets can be accessed HERE and Sunday tickets are available HERE.
Come hungry, bask under the Arizona skies, and have some good ol’ family fun! Tickets are still available - this is one yummy festival you won’t want to miss!
