Northlake Festival Brings a Margarita Tasting Competition to Midland on March 21, 2026
Northlake, TX \u2014 Margarita lovers are invited to sip, savor, and vote at the Rockwall\/Heath Margarita Festival on Saturday, March 21, 2026. This one-day event is the ultimate margarita tasting competition, bringing together 2,500 margarita lovers to help crown THE BEST MARGARITA in Northlake.
Hosted by the International Margarita Organization, the festival features a head-to-head showdown between Heath\u2019s top bars and restaurants. Attendees serve as judges, tasting a wide range of margarita styles \u2014 from sweet and sultry, to spicy and bold, to wild, out-of-this-world creations \u2014 and casting their vote for their favorite.
