The holiday season brings a new photography exhibit to Powell Gardens! 

Aliento a Tequila (or The Spirit of Tequila) exhibition explores and celebrates the landscape, culture, and traditions that gave birth to tequila, Mexico’s mestizo national drink. This series of photographs by Joel Salcido includes the original distilleries that literally founded the industry, as well as several artisanal tequileras committed to the ancestral ways of tequila-making, from harvest to bottle. 

Located in the Conifer Room, the exhibit is open daily during Every Festival of Lights. Purchase tickets online (link in bio).
