(La Porte, IN) - Back by popular demand, Taco Fest is returning and starting the Friday Night Live event series returning for a second season in La Porte.

Taco Fest is scheduled for May 6 from 6-10 p.m. at La Stitch, the newly created event space at the corner of Lincolnway and Monroe.

Taco Night was previously held in October, but the event was moved up to align with Cinco de Mayo and help set the tone for the rest of the season, said Events Director Brent Binversie.

"We've got an exciting summer of events planned for our residents, and we want to kick it off with a bang," Binversie said.

The festival will feature local food and beer vendors, a pop-up artisan market, and live music. Food vendors will also compete for the title of "Best Taco." More details will be announced soon on the city's event calendar.

Artisan and food vendors interested in participating can learn more and apply at livinthelakelife.org. Applications are due by April 22.
