With the fourth annual Columbus Taco Fest taking place on Sat., May 14-Sun., May 15 at Genoa Park, it’s time to talk tacos so you don’t have FOMO during this fiesta. 🌮

Hard shell facts

Both Saturday + Sunday kick off at noon, and Saturday closes at 10 p.m. while Sunday closes at 8:30 p.m. Regardless of when you choose to arrive, admission is free and you can always come back for seconds.

Tacos, nachos, and tequila

This year’s lineup includes 20+ local food trucks with most tacos in the range of $2 to $4 per taco. Many spots offer more than just tacos, like Barroluco with Argentinaian comfort food such as empanadas, or Avo-rrito featuring street food like nachos.

Plus, tacos always go great with tequila + beer, and both will be available through drink tickets which can be bought at the festival.

More ways to salsa

Live music will also be at Taco Fest with local acts like Los Borirengues del Swing, a merengue + salsa trio from Columbus. Music begins at 1 p.m. with a full lineup of performers each day.

All wrapped for a good cause

You’ll be supporting a good cause as portions of the proceeds will benefit the Ohio Restaurant Employee Relief Fund, a local emergency fund to support the service industry.

Dogs are also welcome at Taco Fest so bring your pups. And if you are feeling festive, dress your dog in a costume on Sunday for a dress-up contest benefitting RESCUEDOhio, a nonprofit dog rescue in Columbus.
