Delaware Beach's Biggest Taco & Margarita Party Supporting Local Artists and Creatives

DAC knows how to throw a party, and TacoMania is the biggest and boldest celebration celebrating local creatives.

TacoMania is the region's largest creative culinary competition, bringing together more than 20 local restaurants, chefs, and mixologists for one unforgettable evening. Sample incredible tacos, sip handcrafted margaritas, and vote for your favorites as culinary teams compete for this year's coveted TacoMania titles. The experience extends beyond the food. Explore a gallery of 20 one-of-a-kind Sugar Skull creations by local artists, meet the creators behind the work, and bid in the silent auction for the opportunity to take home an original piece of art.

With live music, local artists, creative cocktails, and more than 500 guests, TacoMania is where food, art, and community come together for one incredible night.
