The Taco Group is a full service event production company. Our focus and expertise is on producing and executing large format food festivals and events.

From rentals, to production, to talent procurement, PR & Marketing and staffing, we offer a full range of competencies and skill sets.

Originally established in 2009, as Aﬀordable Food Festivals, LLC, The Taco Group is one of the most exciting event planning and execution companies in the country.

We combine food, drinks, and culinary competition at a level of intensity that is unmatched by other festival organizers. Our events are fast and furious (and fun!), leaving a lasting impression on attendees.

We integrate diverse activities such as professional chef demonstrations, boutique spirit expos, kid’s zones, rides and attractions, live music, bartender competitions, beauty and pet pageants, and food eating contests, all in the name of mass appeal. Inside, our festivals are enjoyed by crowds as diverse as America itself.

Typical attendance soars past 40,000, which means that your brand can reach a high volume of people at an aﬀordable price.

No matter the level, we keep our sponsors in the conversation long after the event is over, whether that’s with our thousands of social media followers or at other events throughout the year.

Sponsors have been fast to recognize that these large-­‐scale events are one of the only effective branding ROI left. Why just place a print ad, hoping someone stops on your page, when you can reach real people from the widest range of demographics possible? With our huge site plans, we provide promotional opportunities unlike any other.
