El Fuerte - Fort Worth Taco Fest 2016

The Fort Worth Taco Festival is a celebration of Cinco De Mayo, Mexican Culture, and the kaleidoscopic Latin influence on Fort Worth. For many, Mexican cuisine was our first connection the culture. And there’s not a more identifiable and enduring symbol of that bond than the taco.

Taco Fest will feature grub from dozens of area restaurants and food trucks in a celebrity judged competition, in addition to live music featuring Latin Express, theatrical performances, vendors, mariachis and enough beer to drown the Western hemisphere.

The goal of the Fort Worth Taco Festival is to bring people of different backgrounds and ethnicities closer together by promoting, celebrating, and honoring the cross-section of our cultures.

The taco is more than just a tasty treat –– it’s a way to remind us of the many things we have in common. After all, the town that parties together stays together.
