We are excited to be back at The Village of Baytowne Wharf in the beautiful Sandestin Resort for Our 10th Annual Tequila & Taco Fest to be held on May 12th through May 14th, 2022. This premier event has grown significantly since being founded in 2014, by event founder, Carlos Shaffran. Carlos states, “Guests from all over the Southeast come to celebrate this unique event on the Emerald Coast.”

Our location is at Baytowne, located along the shores of the Choctawhatchee Bay in Northwest Florida. The Village of Baytowne Wharf features an array of boutiques, eateries, galleries, nightlife and family fun-zones, with other outdoor activities for the whole family. This is truly a very unique location having one of the finest hotels in the area steps away from the festival. Sandestin offers a variety of accommodation options, each with a unique style, personality, and range of amenities. Make a weekend out of it with special rates for all festival attendees. We are looking forward to a Taco filled day, and looking forward to seeing all of you there!

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Fisher House Foundation, Sandestin Foundation for Kids, and Boys & Girls Club.  This is a rain or shine event and no refunds will be given.
