The 6th annual Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Food & Wine Festival kicks off earlier than ever, starting February 29! Featuring dozens of ALL NEW menu items, including delicious food, wine, craft brews, specialty cocktails such as the Iron Gwazi Gimlet, and a fantastic line-up of world class musical acts – Food & Wine festival runs every weekend February 29-April 26 and is included with park admission.
We have attended the Food & Wine Festival a few times over the last few years and we love it! The food is delicious and the entertainment is top notch. (We don’t drink alcohol so I can’t speak to that). The festival lanyards make getting your food very convenient because you just have to pay for your lanyard and then get it punched at each kiosk, no need to keep pulling out your wallet!
