Try 20+ Water Street icons at this exclusive food and drinks festival

With so many amazing restaurants and bars opening on Water Street Tampa over the last few years, it can be hard to decide which one to try next. Now, you can just try them all in one day, thanks to “Taste of Water Street,” a swanky food and drink festival taking over the downtown neighborhood.

Taste of Water Street takes place Wednesday, April 16 from 5:30-9 pm, allowing guests to sample from nearly two dozen of Water Street Tampa’s most popular spots. Tickets are available now, and supplies are limited, so we recommend snagging yours quickly.

Experience the best of Water Street Tampa

The festival features more than 20 of the neighborhood’s top restaurants and bars popping up in outdoor green spaces, creating the perfect event to take advantage of beautiful spring weather alongside the amazing food and drink. Tickets allow guests samples from all vendors, spread throughout Water Street Tampa.

And the fun doesn’t stop at great eats and cool cocktails – live music will fill the air, adding a lively vibe to the neighborhood and making it the perfect setting to hang out, relax, and explore. Last year’s rendition was a huge success, as attendees filled the streets and popular restaurants dished up some of their most popular and creative items.

Whether you’re a foodie looking to try the latest hotspots, or just someone looking for a fun night on the town, Taste of Water Street is the perfect excuse to get out and try something new. Tickets are available here, and a portion of Taste of Water Street’s proceeds will be donated to the local nonprofit Feeding Tampa Bay.

Advance tickets are required and all attendees must be 21+. Learn more here.
