Margarita Fest: Take Two

Overview

When Ivory Tusk decided to mark International Tequila Day with a very appropriate festival — and celebrate its reopening after Brisbane's lockdowns — the event proved a huge hit. So, it's doing it all over again with Margarita Fest: Take Two.

Yes, you know what you'll be drinking here. Taking place from 8pm on Thursday, August 13 — the night before this year's moved Ekka public holiday — it'll feature plenty of tequila, lime and salt. Indeed, five different varieties of margs will be on offer. There'll also be canapes to help line your stomach, plus DJs and live entertainment.

Two types of tickets are available, to suit both your budget and your thirst. Nab a 'lime and salt' ticket for $19, and you'll get a margarita on arrival and access to the food. Level up to the 'tuskarita' package for $85, and you'll sip your way through three hours of bottomless margs, plus tuck into more than a few bites to eat.

Tickets are on sale now, but it's worth noting that capacity is limited — life isn't quite back to normal just yet. Also, the first event sold out swiftly. So, if you're keep to spend a night downing margaritas, you'll want to get in quick smart.

Margarita Fest: Take Two takes place from 8pm on Thursday, August 13 at Ivory Tusk.
