Craving some good food? Philadelphia Taco Festival is serving up some "Taco Heaven" to hungry locals July 30 and 31.
The fifth annual Philadelphia Taco Festival is taking over Xfinity Live! at the end of the month, bringing a wide variety of over 75 different tacos, refreshing margaritas, interactive games, live entertainment and authentic mariachi music.
More than 20 of the City of Brotherly Love's best restaurants and food trucks will be inside the festival serving delicious tacos, churros, Mexican corn, tamales, nachos and much more to delight the taste buds throughout the weekend.
Pair some of the mouthwatering food options with a nice, cold drink. Guests 21 years of age and older will find a tequila sampling and multiple margarita bars at the festival.

There's something for the kids, too. The festival has incorporated a Kids Fun Zone with bounce houses, face-painting, piñata-smashing contests and games to entertain the young ones.
Kids under the age of 10 can get into the festival for free with a paying adult.
There's fun to be had for the adults, as well: find an axe-throwing area, a place to play Baggo, karaoke in the Broad Street Bullies Pub and a mechanical bull to ride.
