MOLINE, Ill. (KWQC) - Hundreds were left upset after a Nashville-based company hosted a Mexican food and drink festival Saturday at Vibrant Arena at the Mark.

The “Quad Cities Taco and Margarita Festival’ put on by United Festival Productions, advertised tacos, margaritas, a live DJ, live professional wrestling and local retail vendors.

Dozens of ticket holders and some vendors spoke out about the event on social media. Many claim they were met with overpriced concession stand food sold by the venue.
 
To think you can't have a successful authentic Mexican experience in Bettendorf, Iowa speaks to how far we've slid in America.

I want to know who is buying tickets to these food fests, besides fatties, that will then pay more money for food at the fests

This has happened at many places, including here in Nashville at Nissan stadium. You would think this company's reputation would have preceded them by now.

There's a lot of money to be made in the festival business, whether it be concerts or food. The legal fictions we allow to persist through ownership structure shields those that profit from liability
 
What a terrible Saturday to have that event with all the other stuff going on that day in the QC
