Time to dust off your sombreros, mis amigos. Sol Beer is bringing the sunshine with Festival de Mexico – the most exciting, fun-packed fiesta of the year – at Montecasino this Saturday, May 26.

Celebrating all things Mexican, this epic food and music festival gives you the chance to revel in a day’s worth of authentic culture and cuisine. What’s more, it’ll give you the chance to celebrate your freedom and identity, to step out of the shadows, and to dare to embrace the spirit of the sunshine.

You and your amigos can join in with other party-goers in Africa’s largest tequila toast, or go wild in the most colourful piñata takedown.

Or, if you’re feeling the hunger pangs, make sure to grab some food from one of the 20 Mexican-themed food trucks on hand.

Perhaps you want to indulge your adventurous side instead? If you ever wanted to ride a bull, now you have the chance: there’ll be a mechanical bull-riding competition for those who are brave enough.

No pressure or anything.

But if you’re feeling up for a real challenge, you can sign up for a chilli-eating competition. And it’s not mild chilli that we’re talking about – it’s the real spicy deal.

#FeelTheBurn.

If you want to work up a nice sweat, the sweet sounds of Gangs of Ballet, Desmond and the Tutus, December Streets and other rad musical acts will get you dancing the Jarabe Tapatío in no time.

Check it:

You can also kick back and chillax with a nice cool bottle of Sol Beer – made with the spirit of freedom, this delightful pale ale will give you a true taste of the Mexican experience.

Its refreshing flavour is guaranteed to inspire feelings of espiritu libre and enjoying life with just one sip.

Sound keen, amigos?

Nothing beats a life lived in the light of the sun, so join Sol Beer on Saturday, May 26 at Festival de Mexico, which promises to be the hottest jol of the year.

Tickets are on sale from Connect and range from R110 to R180. For more information, visit the event’s Facebook page here.
