One of the Coachella Valley’s biggest cultural celebrations is returning this weekend as the 10th Annual Taste of Jalisco Festival takes over downtown Cathedral City.

The three-day event, running May 1st through May 3rd, celebrates Cathedral City’s longtime sister city relationship with Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico through music, food, entertainment, and family-friendly activities.
