The final day of Tampa Bay WFF will host a Grand Tasting Day, brought to you by Breakthru Beverage Florida and presented by GOYA Foods, as thousands of event goers will join together for good food, good drinks, good music, and of course, good times. Taking over the full festival grounds at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, guests will come together to enjoy flavor-packed bites from Tampa Bay’s leading restaurants as restaurants are set up by neighborhood and zones to educate guests on where to find their favorite hot spots after the Grand Tasting day. In addition, guests will find an endless array of cocktail and wine pavilions that will celebrate some of your favorite varietals along with interactive activations from leading national brands and the all new Publix Culinary Showcase Kitchen Demo stage. With hundreds of food and drink items to be savored, the Grand Tasting will be a great day at one of Tampa’s favorite parks on the riverfront as guests join together from all over to indulge in the best of the best while listening to live music from local favorites and dancing the day away.
