If you’re visiting Morro Bay in early September you can experience the three-day Avocado and Margarita Food & Drink Festival! This festival is a unique twist on a food and wine festival and focuses on gourmet avocado dishes and exceptional margaritas against the fabulous Morro Bay scenery.
Experience the Avocado and Margarita Festival in Morro Bay
The Avocado and Margarita Festival takes place September 9th through September 11th for a full weekend of joy. The festival will be held at Tidelands Park on the grass. Tidelands Park is on the water, so you can enjoy magnificent views of Morro Bay, watch boats glide by, and enjoy the breeze.
In addition to delicious cuisine and creative margaritas, the festival will feature live music and vendors.
Family-Friendly Event
Kids are welcome at the festival, and Tidelands Park offers great activities, so your kids can blow off steam while you enjoy a margarita. Kids often refer the Tidelands Park as Pirate Park since there is a fun pirate ship in the play area. The play area continues the nautical theme with a whale’s tail, seal statues, and a crow’s nest.
In addition, you can walk down to the mud flats to view wildlife.
