The 8th annual TacoMania event sponsored by the Developing Artist Collaboration was held Oct. 10, at the Rusty Rudder in Dewey Beach.
The main attraction was 30-plus local restaurants serving up taco and margarita samples, competing to take home a coveted TacoMania trophy for Best Taco, Best Margarita, Best Rim Job and other categories. More than 40 artists brought their decorated sugar skull creations for a prize competition and silent auction fundraiser.
Guests enjoyed music by Hot Sauce Band and DJ JY while supporting DAC in its mission to provide artists with opportunities, resources, education and connections to support their growth and success.
