Did we mention that Retropolis has a 1950's tram that will be transformed into a haunted Mexican Cantina?
We're partnering with The Tequila & Mezcal Festival to offer you this incredible experience.
We take pride in sharing that some of these beverages can't be found in any other bar or Mexican restaurant across Australia. Many of them are limited small batches, and there's a chance you might never come across them again!
THIS EVENT WILL SELL OUT FOR SURE, GET YOUR TICKETS ASAP!

This is an authentic Mexican event, carefully put together by Mexicans, featuring Mexican performers. We deeply value and take immense pride in our cultural roots, and we're thrilled to share them with all who join us.
While we wholeheartedly appreciate how diverse cultures embrace our celebrations (and we enthusiastically participate in theirs), if you're looking for an unfiltered, genuine experience, this is the one event you absolutely must not miss.
