Portland Taco Festival Bar Crawl: Taco and Tequila Edition
Searching 'Things to Do in Portland This Weekend'? Your Afternoon Just Found Its Anchor.
Portland Already Has the Best Food Scene in New England. Now It Has the Best Bar Crawl.
You’ve Been to the Breweries. You’ve Done the Lobster Rolls. It’s Time for Tacos and Tequila, Portland.
April 25. One Wristband. Portland’s Best Bars. The Tacos You’ve Been Waiting For.
Portland, Maine is a city that punches so far above its weight class they need to create a new category. James Beard Award nominees on every block, one of the most walkable downtowns in the country, and a bar scene that holds its own against cities five times the size.
Bar Crawl USA’s 7th Annual Taco and Tequila Bar Crawl is bringing the Portland taco festival energy to the Old Port on April 25. Taco tokens. Tequila shot specials. Margarita deals. And wristband access to 5+ of Portland’s best bars. All in one afternoon. In the greatest small city in America.
Tickets start at $25. The taco festival Portland has been asking for, right here, April 25.
Seven Aprils. Seven Times Portland Delivered.
Year Seven Might Be the One They Talk About Forever.
Portland bar crawl veterans know the deal: buy your ticket early because this city sells out faster than the lobster shacks on a summer Friday. Seven years of doing this has made Bar Crawl USA very well-acquainted with how enthusiastically Portland shows up.
GA at $25. VIP at $40. Both tiers deliver taco tokens, drink specials, and access to a downtown Portland afternoon that will make you forget Maine winters exist. Birthday group from Boston making the trip? Perfect. Local Portlanders finally doing the crawl your neighbor has invited you to three times? Also perfect.
No dress code. No reservations. Just the Old Port doing what the Old Port does, with tacos.

The Old Port Keeps Its Best Things for the People Who Show Up Early. That Is VIP.
Portland VIP is for the person who understands that early entry to a downtown Portland bar crawl on a beautiful April afternoon is an objectively superior life choice.

Those votes carry real weight in a city full of people with strong culinary opinions.
VIP INCLUDES
- Extra taco tokens to keep pace with a food city that takes every single bite seriously
- Early entry to the Old Port bar scene before seven years of loyal fans make the sidewalk genuinely crowded
- A Taco and Tequila Crawl t-shirt that holds up as well as Maine flannel and looks better
- A welcome tequila shot at check-in because Portland starts its best nights with conviction and this afternoon qualifies
- Best Taco and Best Margarita voting rights in the most food-literate bar crawl city on this entire 20-city list
