We’ll call it Taco-ween. This Halloween weekend, a massive taco festival is taking over the St. Pete Pier as Tacos + Tequila On The Pier brings a two-day, food-filled celebration to the Burg. The festival takes place this Saturday and Sunday, October 29 and 30, from 12 – 8 pm both days.
Hosted at Spa Beach Park on the pier, this waterfront festival features tons of authentic tacos, premium margaritas, games, music, and even Halloween costume contests. There will be more than 20 food trucks and vendors dishing out specialty taco dishes, authentic Mexican dishes and more, plus full bars for tequila, margaritas, beer, and other cocktails.

Go all out on tacos, wash it down with cold margaritas
The lineup of food trucks is a stellar display of authentic cuisine, local favorites, and some highly underrated purveyors of tasty eats.

Plus, try other favorites, like El Yukayeke Puerto Rican, Coco’s Latin Cuisine, Casablanca Fusion, and Brazilian Fun foods.

Oh, and don’t forget one of our favorites: street corn from El Roy’s Elotes. There will also be ice cream vendors, in case you need to cool down from spicy tacos.
