FAQ:

  1. What time can we setup?
       a. 4 hours prior to doors opening.

  2. Can margaritas be made off site?
       a. No. Outside alcohol is strictly prohibited due to TABC laws and regulations.
          Participants must purchase alcohol through the festival and make the margaritas
          onsite.

  3. What ingredients can we bring?
       a. You can bring everything else onsite you need to make a margarita except any
            alcohol.

  4. Why are we required to make 12 gallons of margaritas?
       a. Due to the length of the tasting period and number of people sampling, this
           amount provides a higher likelihood that you will not run out. You are more than
           welcome to make more.

  5. Where can I get TABC certified?
       a. There are many companies online that conduct certifications classes for around
           $14. All servers are required to hold a valid TABC certification and be able to
           show proof the day of the event.

  6. Will extension cords or power strips be provided?
         a. No, participants are responsible for their own extension cords and power strips.
             Please indicate on the registration form if you require a power outlet.

  7. Can we take home or be issued a refund for any unused alcohol?
       a. No. All unused alcohol must be returned at the end of tasting and not brought out
           of the competition area. This is a TABC regulation.
