Calling all ghouls, ghosts and other beings – make sure you have your tickets to Festival De Mexico as it returns again to Montecasino with an epic Halloween celebration for the whole family on 3rd November!
Put on your scary costume and get ready to trick or treat in the outdoor events area, which will magically transform
in to a Mexican themed wonderland! There will be 24 different food vendors, a vast variety of tequilas, Mexican cocktails, piñata showdowns, a chilli eating competition, bull riding, and entertainment in bucket loads.
Bring the kids – there is a specially dedicated area where you can drop off the kiddos for face painting, jumping castle fun, a mini stage with a magician and clown acts, and a sweets kiosk.
Of course no festival is complete without some great live entertainment and there is an A-list of local bands lined up to perform, with heavy-weights Mi Casa taking to the stage, along with top live acts Rubber Duc, Timo ODV, Charlie Finch and Apple Gule.
With over 8000 people expected to attend, the outdoor area is the perfect fit for a festival of this magnitude. There will also be an attempt to break the record of Africa’s biggest tequila toast a celebration uniquely suited to the event. The record is just over 5000 people and was set in May this year.
Of course being responsible is important, so no under 18’s are allowed, and event organisers suggest making use of Uber if you will be drinking.
The gates will open at 12h00 and the event will run until 22h00. Make sure to book your tickets here…
