2025 St Louis Margarita Festival Promises a Spirited Summer Celebration

ST. LOUIS, MO (StLouisRestaurantReview) — Get ready to shake things up this summer!  The much-anticipated St. Louis Margarita Festival returns on Saturday, June 28, 2025, bringing a vibrant celebration of cocktails, food, music, and community to Frankie Martin’s Garden in Cottleville, Missouri.  Running from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, this 21-and-over event is shaping up to be one of the region’s most exciting summer outings for cocktail lovers and foodies alike.

Hosted by the International Margarita Organization, the St. Louis Margarita Festival offers a one-of-a-kind tasting experience where guests can sip, sample, and vote for the best margarita in the city.  With the perfect blend of gourmet flavors, upbeat entertainment, and interactive activities, this festival is a must-attend for anyone who loves a good margarita—or just a great time.

St Louis Margarita Festival – A Celebration of Margarita Excellence

The centerpiece of the St. Louis Margarita Festival is, of course, the margaritas.  Guests will receive a Margarita Sampling Card good for 10 samples, each approximately 3.5 oz., allowing attendees to taste and compare creations from some of the area’s top bars, restaurants, and mixologists.  From classic lime and salt-rimmed blends to unique fruit-infused and spicy variations, the offerings offer something for every palate.

Each sampling card also comes with a voting chip, which guests will use to cast their vote for their favorite margarita.  At the end of the day, the vendor with the most votes will be crowned the “Best Margarita in the City” and awarded a $1,000 cash prize, a championship plaque, and a banner to display their victory proudly.

The competition brings out the best from local bartenders and tequila brands, ensuring a top-tier tasting experience for attendees and a serious bragging right for the winner.

St Louis Margarita Festival – Street Tacos and Local Flavors

No margarita experience is complete without the right culinary pairing.  This year’s festival will feature a variety of local food vendors and trucks offering authentic street tacos, Mexican-inspired dishes, and other delicious bites.  Guests can enjoy traditional carne asada, al pastor, barbacoa, and vegetarian options alongside more adventurous fusion-style tacos created specifically for the event.

Whether you’re craving bold spice or citrusy tang, the menu is carefully curated to complement the flavor profiles of the featured margaritas.  With so many options available, the St. Louis Margarita Festival is as much a food event as it is a cocktail competition.

St Louis Margarita Festival – Music, Games, and Giveaways

Beyond the drinks and tacos, the St. Louis Margarita Festival will have daily entertainment and activities.  A live DJ will provide the soundtrack, spinning upbeat sets to keep the energy high.  The lively atmosphere invites guests to dance, mingle, and enjoy the festive vibe under the summer sun.

Artisan market vendors will also be set up around the venue, showcasing local goods, handmade crafts, apparel, accessories, and more.  It’s a great chance to support small businesses while browsing unique, locally made items.

For beer lovers or those looking to change it up, there will be a beer garden and a frozen cocktail station offering chilled drinks to help guests beat the heat.

One of the day’s biggest highlights is the raffle for an all-inclusive trip to Mexico.  Every general admission sampling ticket includes one entry into the giveaway, and VIP tickets come with two entries.  Additional raffle tickets can be purchased for $5 each, with all proceeds going to the Alexiam Foundation, a charitable organization benefiting children and families in need.  This giveaway adds extra excitement to the day, with the chance to win a dream vacation just for attending.
