The _ Tequila Fest Restaurant Partner Application

Apply to showcase your restaurant at The _ Tequila Fest on November 7, 2025 at Mizner Park Amphitheater in Boca Raton. Selected restaurants will serve sample-size bites to an engaged crowd of tequila lovers and compete for Best Bite, Best Taco, and Best Spicy Bite. Participation is free and curated. The restaurant contributes food and labor as an in-kind donation benefiting True Hospitality Community.

Serve. Compete. Win.

The _ Tequila Fest is inviting a curated group of South Florida restaurants to serve signature small bites at one of the area’s most exciting food and spirits events.

This is not a standard vending opportunity. It is a chance to put your food directly in front of a highly engaged festival audience, build brand awareness, connect with new guests, and compete for crowd-favorite honors.

Participating restaurants will provide sample-size bites for guests and may enter one or more competition categories:

Best Bite

Your signature small plate that shows what your kitchen does best.

Best Taco
One perfect taco bite judged by the crowd.

Best Spicy Bite
Heat, flavor, and confidence. Bring the fire.

Cash prizes will be awarded to winners in each category. Prize amounts to be announced.

Participation is free. Restaurants contribute food and labor as an in-kind donation benefiting True Hospitality Community, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting hospitality workers facing hardship.

Spots are limited and curated for quality, variety, and visibility.
