Cowes Week: Musto’s Mad Thursday Fiesta! (ticketed evening event)
7th August
Hey Amigos? Are you ready for a crazy Thursday night out with your crew this Cowes Week?
If so, we have a party that will be right up your sombrero with Musto’s Mad Thursday Fiesta!
The incredible Vote Pedro will be here headlining the evening with their mad mariachi antics on the main stage from 9.30pm….they are always a huge hit and this is their only outing of Cowes Week 2025!
The evening is a ticketed event for over 18’s only (sorry kids!) and includes a free drink on arrival to help get you in the mood…either a bottle of premium beer or shot of tequila or tequila rose. The evening is sponsored by our Cowes Week partners Musto Clothing, so look out for a few special give-away’s from the stage.
Gates open from 7pm, so don’t be late…we have the incredible Island band “The Fellowship of Groove” on stage from 7.45pm to start the party, who’ll be sure to get you up and dancing ahead of those mad Mexicans!!
Tickets for the event are only £9.50 (including the free drink) and exclusively available through our ticketing partner the Price is Wight.
Get in the spirit…wear some themed Mexican fancy dress if you can and join in the fun!
This is a fully licenced event with all event bars on the lawn open from 7pm for the duration of the evening. Great food on site will be provided by our catering partners including the Prickly Pear & So Much Dough Wood-fired Pizza.
