For one flavorful weekend the Pinellas TacoFest will occupy England Brothers Park in St. Petersburg to showcase a variety of food trucks, live music and vendors.
From Jan. 27-28 the park will be alive with sounds of live music and aromas of local Mexican fare, offering a chance to taste Tampa Bay’s best tacos, hot sauces and frozen drinks.
On Saturday the festival will host a competition for Best Taco in Tampa Bay where attendees can vote for their favorites in categories like chicken, beef, pork, veggie, seafood and “other.”
Bonus awards will be given in categories like “Most Creative” and “Most Craveable.”
Then on Sunday put on your stretchy pants for the taco eating competition, where participants will eat as many tacos as they can in three minutes and one victor will take home a $100 cash prize.
The family-friendly event also features live music from The 727 Band, Greg Woodruff and LongNeck Band.
Adoptable pets will be present at the festival on Sunday at noon and a portion of the festival proceeds will go to Get Rescued, Inc. and Elizabeth’s Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, both non-profits supporting animal rescue across Florida.
The event, located at 5010 81st Ave. N., starts at 10 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. both days and admission and parking are free.
