Windsor’s most refreshing summer party is back! Lime, mint, tequila, and rum collide for a day full of sunshine, cocktails, and good vibes at the 2025 Margaritas & Mojitos Festival on Saturday, July 26, 2025 at WindsorEats Food Hall.
📍 Where is it?
The festival goes down at WindsorEats Food Hall, 400 Erie St. East, Windsor, Ontario. We’re transforming the patio into a tropical oasis you won’t want to leave.
🚗 Is there parking?
We always encourage our guests coming to have a good time to be responsible and find an alternative way to get here and back home. That being said, we have parking on the street directly in front of the WindsorEats Food Hall, in the gravel lot behind (to the north towards the river), and in a municipal lot on Howard Avenue just steps away which is free after 7pm.
We ask that you please do not park in the New Beginnings spaces or in the Nizam Pastry lot. If you do park there, don’t be surprised if your car isn’t there when you leave (ie. it’s been towed).
Pro tip: Arrive early for the best spots or consider carpooling or ride-share to make it easy.
💵 Is It Really Free To Attend?
Yes, it’s free to attend! No tickets needed—just bring your thirst and good vibes. Drinks and food are pay-as-you-go right at the bar and food vendors.
🍹 What is it?
A full day dedicated to two of summer’s most iconic cocktails: margaritas and mojitos. You’ll find classic versions and creative twists. It’s really just another excuse to reward yourself for being you.
🍹 Flights of Margaritas: Your Passport to Sip Heaven
All day long, sip through our fan-fave Flights of Margaritas — four handpicked flavours served together on one board:
- Classic: The OG that everyone talks about. Made with Espolòn Reposado, Cointreau, fresh lime, and a salted rim. Clean, crisp, and the gold standard of margaritas.
- Jalapeño: Jalapeños steeped in lime juice give this one a slow, citrusy burn. Spicy, bold, and here to wake up your tastebuds.
- Coconut: A tropical getaway in a glass. Made with 1800 Coconut tequila, it’s crisp, coconut-forward, and refreshingly light—zero cream, all beach vibes.
- Strawberry Shortcake (dessert in a glass)
Heads up! Flight boards are limited and might be gone when you try to order, so have a backup margarita choice ready to keep the good times flowing.
🍹 What other margaritas and mojitos will there be?
The menu will literally be just margaritas and mojitos, so there will be plenty of special items to try just for the festival. Here’s a peek at some of the ones we’re most excited about:
Hot Honey Margarita
We’re bringing it back for one day only! Sweet meets heat with real honey and a dash or two of Tabasco. A sultry, sticky, spicy sip that hits all the right notes.
Mango Margarita
Sunshine in a glass. Juicy mango blended with tequila and lime for tropical vibes you’ll want to sip all day.
Erie Street Mojito
Mint-steeped lime juice with a splash of limoncello and local flair make this Erie Street original a zesty crowd-pleaser.
Pisco Margarita
Tequila takes a vacay and lets Peruvian pisco do the talking. Floral, citrusy, and a fresh twist on tradition.
Cucumber Mojito
Cool cucumber and mint-steeped lime juice blend perfectly with Havana Club Reserva rum for a crisp, spa-day sip.
Take a look at our full menu for the day to see what else we’ve got up our sleeve.
🍔 What about food?
You’ll definitely want to eat while you sip! Rico Taco is back with their iconic birria tacos—a must-have for taco lovers. Plus, Kaeru Snack Bar will bring her absolutely incredible Asian fusion flavours to the party, guaranteed to satisfy your cravings and pair perfectly with your cocktails.
🥁 Who’s bringing the vibes?
From 7pm to 10pm, Aaron “Bravesoul” Parrott will be the headline with his steel drum and his squad, bringing tropical and soulful tunes to match your mojito buzz. It’s the perfect soundtrack to island-hop without leaving Windsor.
Before that, Ron Leary will grace us with the strums of his guitar from 4pm to 6pm.
It will be a perfect day for sitting back on a patio while enjoying refreshing drinks, live music, and the company of friends.
🧃 Will there be non-alcoholic options?
Of course! We’ve got delicious mocktails for everyone who wants to join the fun without the booze.
👶 Is it family friendly?
The daytime hours are perfect for families to enjoy the food, music, and chill vibes, but of course, families are always welcome to come at anytime!
We’ve got giant jenga and Connect 4 and loads of board games to keep the real kids (and kids at heart) entertained.
🐶 Can I bring my dog?
Yes! Leashed pups are welcome to hang out on the patio and soak in the festival energy.
🎟 How do drinks work?
Just walk up to the bar and pay for your drinks—no tokens needed! Whether you want a margarita, mojito, flight, or mocktail, just order and enjoy.
