Ludacris, Fat Joe, Chingy + More Hit the Stage Sept. 27. Limited Early Bird Tickets Available Now.

OTTAWA (May 1, 2025) –  Get ready, Ottawa—Tacos & Tequila Festival is making its local debut on Saturday, September 27, 2025, bringing an unforgettable, nostalgia-drenched experience to Ottawa Stadium. Produced by Social House Entertainment, this high-energy throwback celebration blends the bold flavours of street tacos and handcrafted margaritas with a soundtrack straight out of the early 2000s.

Originally scheduled for earlier this summer, the new date comes due to circumstances outside of our control—but trust us, it’s only making the experience better. With cooler weather and bigger energy, the debut of Tacos & Tequila Festival in Ottawa will be an unforgettable throwback experience you won’t want to miss.

Headlined by hip-hop heavyweight Ludacris, the inaugural Ottawa lineup also features legendary acts Fat Joe, Chingy, Chamillionaire, Baby Bash, Bubba Sparxxx, Petey Pablo, and party-starter DJ Ashton Martin. It’s a stacked roster of chart-topping artists who defined a generation—now ready to light up the stage with iconic hits and old-school vibes.

But the beats are just the beginning. Attendees can indulge in the area’s best tacos, sip craft margaritas, enjoy shots at the tequila shot bars, enjoy lucha libre wrestling, and snap pics with art installations and photo ops throughout the grounds. Add in a Salsa & Queso Competition, and a Chihuahua Beauty Pageant, and you’ve got a festival that’s as extra as your favourite taco topping.
