Espolón Tequila Day of the Dead Party at the Manly Wharf Hotel

Overview

This Saturday, October 29, what will you be doing? If the answer isn't celebrating the Mexican Day of the Dead holiday, then you might have to re-evaluate your plans because Espolón Tequila is having a party on the last Saturday of October.

The traditional Day of the Dead holiday actually runs over two separate days on November 1 and 2, when it's believed that the souls of those who have passed to the underworld can come back to visit. Families in Mexico and Latin America (and around the world) come together to welcome their loved ones back with their favourite food, drinks, candles, flowers and incense to celebrate the meaningful holiday.

Espolón tequila is handcrafted and distilled by artisans in the Los Altos region of Mexico, which makes it the perfect drink to celebrate the Day of the Dead with. The celebration at the Manly Wharf Hotel kicks off at 8pm with a complimentary Espolón margarita on arrival; after that, they're $10 all night. It's free to attend — and they'll have Day of the Dead face painters on hand to help you out with an authentic costume.
