This year’s Formula One at Circuit of the Americas was filled with fast cars and Fiestas! The Couture Details Events team collaborated with Guerrilla Suit and Transmission Events to bring the vibrant colors and sounds of Mexico to Circuit of the Americas through an authentic Cantina experience at Turn 4.
Colorful serapes, cacti, and strings of picado imbued the Cantina with a festive air. In addition to the bright décor, we had DJ King Louie, DJ Orion, and DJ Chorizo Funk spinning fun Spanish beats with a twist, creating a non-stop dance party between races! Mariachi Relampago, Mariachi Estrella, and Marichi Cocula also made appearances, offering the guests an authentic Mexican Mariachi experience, which was hands down a huge success!
Mango and Margarita, two mini burros, greeted guests at the Cantina entrance; nobody could walk by without taking advantage of this unique photo op. Special thanks to Austin Oddities & Entertainment for bringing them!
Once inside, guests enjoyed a great Mexican beer selection and a classic Margarita and Tequila Bar! All in all, the Cantina provided a vibrant and exciting atmosphere to drink and dance and relax during Formula One.
We could not have made the magic happen, with out some truly amazing vendors, a HUGE thanks to Intelligent Lighting Design for the ceiling décor, Marquee Event Rentals for the seating, Blackout Metalworks for hand painting the Cantina walls, Blue Sky LLC for building the custom stucco wall structure, and Badfish for the cooler wrap decal!
