The 6th annual World Margarita Championship October 27, 2011

The festival kicks off with The World Margarita Championship on Thursday, October 27th. Added to the Culinary Festival in 2005 the Margarita Championship has become one of the most popular events of the weekend. Guests will have the opportunity to taste a variety of margaritas with paired food from a variety of Tucson Originals restaurants. A distinguished panel of judges will be in attendance to determine the winner of The “World Margarita ChampionshipTM”. As an added attraction this year, invitations to the competition have been extended to include mixologists from other “originals” groups in other cities, as well as independent restaurants (members of MTCVB’s Vamos a Tucson program) in Sonora, Mexico.
