Be Part of the Fun: Volunteer at Taco Wars in Shreveport

Taco Wars is the Ark-La-Tex’s biggest taco festival, and it has become a huge attraction for Taco Lovers all over East Texas and Louisiana. Taco Wars calls Shreveport home and celebrates Latin culture through food, meaning local taquerias treat vendors, and live music is there for the big party.

Every year, our favorites compete for Best Taco and Best Salsa, and you get to place your vote. Last year, 14 different eateries showed up to claim the title for the coveted Golden Taco and Golden Molcajete battle.

Did you know that 90% of all taco and treat sales go directly to the taco vendors? The remainder of the funds help fund the festival itself. Entry is free however, the tacos, treats, and drinks are priced by the vendors and purchased with Taco Tickets.

What Are Taco Tickets at Taco Wars in Shreveport?

It's taco currency. It is how we purchase tacos. 1 Ticket costs $1 and is purchased at the festival at several ticket kiosks. You may purchase as many as you like at a time, and you can return to a kiosk at any time to purchase more, but Taco Ticket sales are final. Just a heads up, most tacos range from 3-6 tickets, so plan accordingly.

Saturday, April 26th from 11:00 am to 8:00 p.m., the Shreveport Municipal Auditorium will be where we all gather for tacos, sweet treats, cold beer, margaritas, live music, and community in Shreveport. Who doesn't love an epic celebration of Latino culture?
