A big empanda festival is coming to Tampa…or should I say returning to Tampa. After the remarkable success of its first iteration, Brewed Life Events is bringing back the family-friendly extravaganza. The 2nd Annual Tampa Bay Empanada Festival arrives at Perry Harvey Sr. Park (1000 E Harrison St) in downtown Tampa on April 6. Click HERE for tickets.
This vibrant event blends toe-tapping music, a tantalizing assortment of empanada vendors, and a lineup of refreshing cocktails for the grown-ups to relish. In total, there will be 30+ empanadas to savor from more than 20 select vendors. Additionally, the event will include live music, DJs, and family-friendly games.

The Tampa Bay Empanada Festival is dog-friendly, but all dogs must be leashed while at the park.
