CONTEST: Win Tickets to the 2018 Houston Fajita Festival

Summer’s about to get sizzling in Houston, as the city prepares for the third annual Fajita Fest on Saturday, July 28 at Houston Community College’s west loop campus with an exciting lineup of things to see, do and taste including the massively popular jalapeno eating contest.

This year, the Houston Fajita Festival will feature over a dozen food vendors and brings in some of the best grillmasters in Texas to serve up their most mouth-watering Mexican dishes. The Festival also offers several ways for Tex-Mex enthusiasts to indulge in the experience with fan favorites like the taco and watermelon eating contests. Foodies, families, and friends are all encouraged to come out and enjoy a host of endless entertainment, including the kids’ playground, two DJs, wrestling matches, live art walls, a photo area, and so much more! As the Houston Fajita Festival continues to grow in size and quality, the overall experience for attendees is top priority for festival organizer, Andrew Harris of Grandma’s Boys Lemonade.
