(La Porte, IN) - What promises to be a festive evening in downtown La Porte is right around the corner.

The inaugural Taco Fest is scheduled for Friday, October 15th, outside Monroe and State streets just north of Lincolnway.

Jessica Bruder, Director of Communications for the city, said a DJ would play Latin music, and traditional Mexican dancers would perform. The DJ and dancers from South Bend performed during the summer in La Porte at Lake Fest.

“If you missed them at Lake Fest you’re not going to want to miss them here,” Bruder said.

There will be enough other happenings to fill the whole enchilada. Four restaurants will compete for “Best Taco,” and five vendors will sell tacos. Craft beer will also be served.

Taco Fest is scheduled from 5-10 PM.
