College Station Festival Brings a Margarita Tasting Competition to Midland on March 14, 2026
College Station, TX — Margarita lovers are invited to sip, savor, and vote at the Rockwall/Heath Margarita Festival on Saturday, March 14, 2026. This one-day event is the ultimate margarita tasting competition, bringing together 2,500 margarita lovers to help crown THE BEST MARGARITA in College Station.
Hosted by the International Margarita Organization, the festival features a head-to-head showdown between Heath’s top bars and restaurants. Attendees serve as judges, tasting a wide range of margarita styles — from sweet and sultry, to spicy and bold, to wild, out-of-this-world creations — and casting their vote for their favorite.
Each entry ticket includes TEN 3.5oz margarita samples, the largest pours allowed by law, each served over ice by participating Heath bars and restaurants. The winning bar or restaurant will receive $1,000 and ultimate bragging rights.
In addition to the margarita tasting competition, the College Station Margarita Festival will feature a live DJ, street food vendors, a beer garden, and a chance to win a dream trip to Mexico. A portion of the proceeds supports children’s charities, allowing attendees to enjoy the festival while giving back.
