Get ready for a fiesta at Gravity on Sat., Aug. 13 when the third annual Tequila Fest returns with 50+ different tequilas to try. Grab the salt + limes because we’re pouring up what you need to know before you go.

Tickets for tequila 🎟️

The 21+ festival runs from 4-10 p.m. at 500 W. Broad St. with tequila tastings running from 5-9 p.m. Three different ticket packages are available online, including early bird tickets at $45 and VIP tickets at $125.

Both grant access to live music, all the tequila options at the festival, and tacos from Barrio , but those who opt for the VIP pass will have eight premium drink tickets. These can be used at the exclusive rooftop bar with high-end tequila.

In the VIP area, other brands will be available like Don Julio, Clase Azul, and Avion Extra 44, which are all valued at $100+ per bottle.

Pro tip: Modelo is the official beer of Tequila Fest + other specialty drinks margaritas will be available.
