The Fresno Grizzlies and Capital International Productions, Inc., have teamed up to bring what they hope will be one of the largest tequila festivals in the state to Chukchansi Park on Saturday, May 20.

Tequila Fest, a first-of-its-kind event for Chukchansi according to organizers, will be headlined by musical guests T.I., Rick Ross and Lil Jon. 

“We are extremely, extremely excited to bring Tequila Fest to Chukchansi Park on May 20,” said Grizzlies Marketing and Communications Director Jonathan Bravo. “It’s a great, great partnership between us and a couple of our partners. Any time we’re able to bring huge headliners like T.I., Rick Ross and Lil Jon we just kind of jump on the chance.”

Officially titled “Taco Truck Throwdown Presents: Tequila Fest,” the event falls  under the umbrella of Taco Truck Throwdown events and will include Grizzlies’ partners Estrella Jalisco, Michelob Ultra, Fresno Suit Outlet and Fresno Street Eats.

The event will feature tequila tasting, food trucks, margaritas and a cigar bar, as well as a VIP area.

Chukchansi Park has seen several big-name bookings recently, with Lynyrd Skynyrd and Nitro Circus performing at the park last year, and this year’s announcement of the Savannah Bananas’ stop in Fresno in July.

“Chukchansi Park is going to be the epicenter of throwback entertainment on May 20th with Tequila Fest,” said Capital International Productions, Inc. Executive Vice President Lance Cardoza.

Hours and additional musical acts have yet to be announced, but will feature local talent.

“Our entire organization is extremely excited to bring this unique event to downtown Fresno in May,” said Grizzlies President Derek Franks. “It is rare to have a musical lineup of this caliber at any event and, once you include all the great food, drinks, and vendors, I fully expect tickets to go extremely fast.”

Tickets for the event start at $75 for general admission and $150 for the VIP Tequila Lounge experience. Sales begin Friday, February 3 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at fresnogrizzlies.com/events. Suites will also be available by calling or texting (559) 320-4487 or emailing members@fresnogrizzlies.com.
