Kern Margarita Championship

 

Prepare Yourself for World-Class Tastings

August 22, 2020 - 6:00 PM

Downtown Marriott

The Josh Farler Foundation brings you the 2nd Annual Kern Margarita Championship, an unforgettable evening of tastings of World class Margaritas, food pairings, patient art exhibit, live music, and more. A true collaboration with local restaurants and organizations that highlights and promotes their culinary expertise. 

Kern County restaurants will battle it out with live Judging and a People’s Choice award, for the best Signature Margarita.  Enjoy food sampling and margarita tastings from 12 local restaurants.  Attendees will get to vote for their favorite margarita!

Why?

To raise awareness of the rich and vibrant culinary community in Kern County.  All funds raised go directly to support local cancer patients with food, transportation and lodging while traveling for treatment through the CBCC Foundation, AIS Cancer Center, Rio Bravo Cancer Center, and the Kern County Cancer Foundation.
