Mountain air, alpine blooms, agave, and the kind of weekend you plan with friends.
The Breckenridge Agave Festival, presented by Proximo, brings together margaritas, mezcal, tequila, and a full lineup of flavor-driven experiences across Main Street Station and The Village at Breckenridge. Whether you are here for the Grand Tasting or the all-access Friday Agave Pairing Dinner and Sunday Brunch, this is your invitation to linger a little longer in one of Colorado’s favorite mountain towns.
Brought to you by
From the lively plazas below Peak 9 and along Maggie Pond to the VIP setting at Sauce on the Maggie, the weekend reveals the world of agave in more ways than one. Your ticket opens the door to expert distillers, skilled mixologists, and a standout lineup of producers. It is a deeper look at the craftsmanship, character, and artistry behind every pour.
The 2026 Margarita Competition
Got a palate for a good marg? You are the judge.
Your festival pass includes access to the all-new 2026 Margarita Competition. Taste, vote, and help decide which margarita comes out on top as tequila brands bring their best house recipes or team up with local bartenders to create a signature mountain cocktail.
The top entry earns $500 in cash and serious bragging rights. Results will be announced at 5:30 PM on the Main Street Station stage.
