After a long week of work or school, you can count on your best friend to ask the question that really matters: “Margs?” If you find yourself sprinting to the tequila, then get ready because Chicago Margarita Festival is back. And after a few rough fledgling years, the festival has adopted a new location, one that has become the perfect spot for the past few years.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Margarita Festival<\/a> will be held July 27 – 28 at beloved Chicago landmark Navy Pier<\/a> and will offer not only 10+ margarita flavors, but gourmet eats, live music, dancing and a fireworks show. The tickets range for this margarita fest in Chicago range from $20 for general admission to $70 for VIP, depending on how fancy you want to get \u2014 but those gourmet eats might just be worth it: shrimp tostada, margarita chicken, mini lobster roll, and Asian pear crostini, to name a few.<\/p>\n

Chicago Margarita Festival Sessions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, July 27 @ 11:00am – 6:00pm, 7:00pm – 11:59pm
\nSunday, July 28 @ 12:00pm – 7:00pm<\/p>\n

The new location for this margarita fest in Chicago has easily subdued complaints from past years, especially with easy parking<\/a> nearby. 2016’s event, which was held at South Shore Cultural Center, left a bad taste in some festgoers’ mouths who complained of issues entering the event, long lines for drinks and a poor VIP experience. However, the 2019 Chicago Margarita Festival\u00a0website boasts “elegant, radiant minimalist design” and “Latin congo and Island sounds with a touch of classic Chicago house.” And don’t forget, you’ll be surrounded by beautiful Lake Michigan. No complaints here.<\/p>\n

We know you love your favorite Mexican restaurant’s happy hour, but we think you can survive without it for one weekend. This time around, you’ve got a whole margarita fest in Chicago dedicated to the instant-fiesta cocktail. One tequila, two tequila\u2014you know how it goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
