Margarita March Set to Draw Thousands to Village Bars

NEW YORK, NY — Sticky subway rides, crowds of people sweating on you, heat rising off the sidewalks. It’s been a boiling summer like always in NYC, but this Saturday and Sunday residents can cool down and have some fun with a nice cold drink (or eight) at the fourth annual Margarita March.

Fifteen thousand people clicked "attending" on the Margarita celebration's Facebook event. Craft Hospitality, LLC holds the event each year.

For $65 a ticket each day, you get: eight margaritas at eight different bars, food along the way, an all-access VIP badge, event pictures, entertainment and music, and specials on beer and food. Plus, a portion of all ticket sales is donated to local charities.

General check-in is from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. The event lasts from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. Once you check in, participants receive an all-access VIP badge that has names of the participating venues printed on it. Participants can go to these eight different venues in any order they choose.

Each venue created their own special version of a margarita. The venues include: Avenida Cantina, Mama's Bar, Double Wide, Finnerty’s, Bar 13, The Grisly Pear, Thunder Jackson's, Parkside Lounge on Saturday, and Juke Bar on Sunday.

Participants must be 21 and over with a valid ID. Make sure to Margarita March responsibly.
