There’s nothing quite like sipping a margarita on the rocks with a salt rim (or sugar, or neither) and basking in the glow of a warm, sunny day. Margarita season is upon us, and Arkansas Times is celebrating with its 4th annual Margarita Festival on Fri., June 18 at the River Market Pavilions from 6 p.m.-9 p.m. Presented by Milagro Tequila, guests will sample takes on the classic cocktail from the local restaurant bartenders, vote for their favorites, and crown one concoction best of the ‘fest.
