Let's taco 'bout a festival of epic proportions that's within driving distance from YOU.

The Taco Festival is making a stop in Cincinnati this year, and with over 20 local restaurants represented, it's definitely worth the drive. Especially if you missed out on the Taco Food Truck takeover in Dayton last weekend!

To gain entry into this "taco-topia" you must purchase a general admission ticket for $12. Inside the festival you'll find a plethora of restaurants serving up as many tacos as you can handle for $2 each.

What’s a taco without a refreshing margarita to wash it down? There will also be plenty of bar and beverage stations so you can drink to your heart’s content.

The entire festival works on a token system, so you'll purchase tokens worth $2 each and use those like you would cash.

The festival is chock-full of tacos, obviously, but there's also a full docket of events on the schedule including a taco-attire contest, a chihuahua beauty pageant, and taco and hot chili pepper eating contests.
