Bigger! Bolder! Spicier!
Taco Wars, the region’s only taco and salsa festival/competition, is back and better than ever! Since 2018, Taco Wars has hosted nearly 10,000 taco lovers and has quickly become one of the most well-attended, culturally authentic festivals in Shreveport-Bossier. Taco Wars is also a free, family-friendly festival and its diverse attendees offer exposure in front of thousands of people from all walks of life. Taco Wars III will be on Saturday, April 30 from 12pm-8pm, at the Municipal Auditorium. We are expanding the time, programming and exponentially growing the fun factor. The event will be an outdoor festival featuring Latino-focused live music, food, adult/child libation and entertainment for the kids.
Best Taco & best salsa up for grabs
These are the two awards that will be given during Taco Wars III. The taquerias will be judged on the Best Taco by a jury of experts, and the Best Salsa will be judged by the public. This encourages the taquerias to bring out their crowds. The most unique part of Taco Wars is that 90% of the proceeds go directly back to the taquerias.
What makes Taco Wars so special?
There is no other festival like it in the region. Not only does Taco Wars offer up a selection of local taquerias vying for the coveted Golden Taco, but we also feature a free Salsa Competition where the audience votes on their favorite. This free family-friendly festival has become one of the most anticipated food events on the calendar.
