The salsa creators will be vying for a $1,000 cash prize each day, additional cash prizes, and the prestigious honor of the best salsa maker in the Valley. The Salsa Challenge also features a Margarita Mix-Off Competition. Mixologists from around the Valley will shake and pour their tastiest tequila concoctions to find the best margarita in town. The winner each day receives a $500 cash prize. The tasty margaritas are then auctioned off to the highest bidder.
