Connecticut Taco and Margarita Festival Comes to The Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater in October

James Gribbon

The people demand tacos, and on October 15th at the Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater in Bridgeport, they shall receive tacos. And also margaritas. Naturally.

The 2022 Connecticut Taco and Margarita Festival at The Amp is available to anyone with $15 and dream to eat tacos, drink margs, see live wrestling from Adrenaline, maybe get their face painted, have access to shop vendors, test their courage at the hot sauce expo, and possibly gain a championship of their own at the taco eating contest.

Children under 12 get in free, and adults have the option to choose from standard admission with entry at noon, or two levels of VIP access which get them in an hour earlier. VIP ($49) nets attendees a t-shirt, two margaritas, and early entry, while Ultimate VIP ($79) comes with early entry, the t-shirt, three margs, and access to VIP bars, and bathrooms. Live DJs will provide the necessary tunes.

A chili pepper eating contest is also scheduled for the truly brave or foolhardy, depending on perspective.

October 15, 12p.m. general entry, 11a.m. VIP
