Prepare to spice up your October with a fiery fiesta that’ll knock your sombrero off! Campbell, California, is gearing up for a night of spirits, both in your glass and in the air, with the Taste Of Tequila – Dia De Los Muertos Edition. This isn’t your average Thursday night out – it’s a full-blown celebration of Mexican culture, flavors, and tequila!
When and Where?
Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 17, 2024. The fun kicks off at 6:00 PM sharp at Distrito, located at 379 E Campbell Ave in the heart of Downtown Campbell. This charming Silicon Valley city is trading in its tech vibes for some south-of-the-border flair, and you won’t want to miss it.
What’s on the Menu?
Hold onto your taste buds because they’re in for a wild ride! This isn’t just dinner – it’s a four-course culinary journey that’ll make your mouth water and your spirits soar.
First Course: Appetizer Amazement
Get ready to wake up your taste buds with some zesty starters. Will it be spicy street corn or crispy taquitos? The suspense is killing us!
Second Course: Soup or Salad Sensation
It’s time to freshen things up a bit. How about a cool, creamy avocado soup or a tangy jicama salad? Whatever it is, it’s bound to be delicious.
Third Course: Main Dish Magic
This is where things get serious. Picture a plate of sizzling fajitas, a perfectly grilled fish topped with mango salsa, or a rich mole sauce smothering tender chicken. Your guess is as good as ours, but we’re betting it’ll be Instagram-worthy.
Fourth Course: Dessert Delight
Save room for something sweet! Will it be a classic flan, churros with chocolate sauce, or something unexpected? Only time will tell!
But Wait, There’s More!
Now, let’s talk about the star of the show – the tequila! Each course comes paired with a specially selected tequila that’ll complement the flavors and have you saying, “¡Ay, caramba!” in no time. From smooth blancos to rich añejos, you’ll get a tequila education to impress your friends at the next happy hour.
Dia de los Muertos Theme
This isn’t just a tequila tasting, folks. It’s a full-on Dia de los Muertos celebration! For those who don’t know, that’s the “Day of the Dead” – a Mexican holiday that honors departed loved ones. Don’t worry. It’s not as spooky as it sounds. In fact, it’s a joyous occasion full of color, music, and memories.
Expect to see some fantastic decorations:
- Vibrant sugar skulls
- Marigold flowers everywhere
- Colorful papel picado (paper banners)
- Maybe even a full-on ofrenda (altar) display
Who knows? You might even spot some guests with faces painted like traditional calaveras (skulls). It’s all part of the fun!
What to Wear?
While there’s no strict dress code, why not get into the spirit? If you’re feeling extra festive, throw on something colorful, maybe with some skull motifs. Remember, you’ll be eating and drinking, so perhaps leave the full-body skeleton suit at home now.
