Sweetwater Organic Farm celebrates a different type of herb—basil, that is—at its annual springtime fundraiser this month, which just so happens to fall on 4/20 this year.
In addition to flowing drinks and good eats like pesto pasta, zoodles and pizza, Pesto Festo 2024 also features live music, kids activities, a dessert bar, silent auction, raffles, drum circle and other basil-themed festivities. Locally-brewed kombucha, beer and wine will be on tap, too.
Funds raised help continue the community-ran organic farm’s mission of “exploring ecological interconnections, practicing appropriate land stewardship and mastering sustainable agriculture techniques.”
Just a handful of sponsors for the 30th annual Pesto Festo this weekend include Mother Kombucha, Keel & Curley Winery, Squeeze Juice Works, Vigo and Kahuna’s Bar and Grill.
Our big list of 4/20-themed events happening throughout Tampa Bay includes music festivals and warehouse parties, cookouts, burrito eating contests and more.
Tickets to the 30th Annual Pesto Festo happening Saturday, April 20 at Tampa’s Sweetwater Organic Farm ( 5521 Hanley Rd.) are still available and start at $50. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
