Tacos are not the only star of the show at Taco Fest presented by Good Foods. Chihuahuas will take center stage during the fest's third annual Chihuahua Beauty Contest

OnMilwaukee Taco Fest presented By Good Foods is Saturday, Sept. 14 at Henry Maier Festival Park. The Chihuahua Beauty Contest will take place at 1:30 p.m. on the Aurora Pavilion stage.

If you have a Chihuahua – from purebreds to mixed breeds – sign 'em up for this low-key canine competition. Our panel of pupper partisans will score your furry friends on their outfit/costume, their "talent" (which can range from an actual talent or merely being aww-inducingly adorable) and their overall cuteness.

Here are the pup-tacular prizes:

  • First place winner will receive one pair of VIB (Very Important Barker) tickets to Bark & BBQ with OnMilwaukee and B93.3 on Saturday, Oct. 5 at the H-D Museum.
  • 2nd place winner will receive a basket of goodies from NutriSource.
  • 3rd place winner will receive a basket of goodies from Bentley's Pet Stuff.
  • All contestants will receive a Bark & BBQ bandana.

Sign up your Chi for the contest here and then invite your friends and family to grab some OnMilwaukee Taco Fest presented by Good Food tickets and watch the show! (NOTE: All dog owners must show that their pup is updated on their rabies shots prior to entry)
