I love that this town has so many festivals. I also love tequila, so this event sounds amazing! They’ll have over 45 tequilas ready for sampling, including big names like Don Julio and local brands like Republic (a personal favorite of mine.)

Tribute concerts are some of my favorite concerts. They always play songs I know from a band I love! I’m one of those people that hates it when I go to a concert and don’t know any of the words. They had another Pink Floyd tribute show back in May, which was a huge hit,

It’s not that often that we get to celebrate Austin’s international flavor, and this festival is a fun and delicious way to do just that.
