Dance, Drink and Celebrate at Boca Raton’s Sunset Tequila & Mezcal Festival, Your Ticket to Nonstop Fun and Flavor.

November 2nd, 2024

If you’re looking for a way to kick back, sip on some of the finest tequila, and vibe to some seriously good tunes, the Third Annual Sunset Tequila & Mezcal Festival at Mizner Park Amphitheater was the place to be. This year’s fest had everything—great music, endless tequila tastings, delicious food, and an overall good-time energy that kept the crowd buzzing from start to finish.

First off, the music. Artikal Sound System absolutely crushed it. If you haven’t heard them yet, think reggae, rock, and R&B all mashed together into one high-energy show that had everyone moving. They’ve been around the country, played massive stages like Red Rocks, and their hometown show was the kind of performance that got the whole crowd dancing. But they weren’t the only act that made the night—Los Wizzards brought their flavor to the stage, and Paul Anthony & The Reggae Souljahs kept the vibe flowing with their smooth reggae beats.

And then there was the tequila. Oh man. This festival had unlimited tastings from some of the best tequila and mezcal brands out there—Siempre, Casa Mexico, Don Londres, and so many others. You could sip on everything from blancos to reposados or mix things up with a frozen margarita or cocktail if that’s more your speed. No need to go back to the bar every five minutes either—your ticket got you access to all of it. That’s right, all of it.

Now, if you were feeling a bit peckish after all that tequila (and who wouldn’t?), there were plenty of food vendors to grab a bite, from tacos to oysters to pizza. But let’s be honest, if you were in the VIP section, you didn’t have to worry about food because you were getting complimentary bites and drinks all night. I’m talking local restaurants like Even Keel and Ravish Kitchen hooking it up while you sip from your private bar. Plus, the VIP balcony gave you the best view of the stage—if you could tear your eyes away from your drink long enough to look.

One of the coolest parts of the night was the live bartender competition, where the best bartenders in the area were competing for a $2,500 cash prize, courtesy of Siempre Tequila. The crowd got into it, cheering on their favorite bartenders as they mixed up some next-level cocktails.

For those looking to take their festival experience to the next level, the Sunburn Cannabis experience was there for some extra relaxation and chill vibes. It was a perfect add-on for those who wanted to unwind and really enjoy the full spectrum of the event.

All in all, the Sunset Tequila & Mezcal Festival was exactly what you want in a night out: good drinks, great music, plenty of space to chill, and a vibe that you just can’t beat. Whether you were there for the tequila, the tunes, or just the all-around fun, it was one for the books.

If you missed it this year, don’t worry—tickets are already on sale for next year. But trust me, you’ll want to grab them early because this event is one you don’t want to miss.
