Busch Gardens Brings Back Food And Wine Festival Feb. 29

TAMPA, FL — Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is bringing back their annual Food and Wine Festival on February 29th and will run the event on weekends until April 26th. The festival, now in its sixth year, features a wide selection gourmet-inspired food, beverages, and concerts for those with a Busch Gardens admission ticket.

Some new food additions include Achiote-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin, Handmade Cannoli, Red Beans & Rice, Blackened Catfish, Avocado Toast (enticing millennials no doubt), and more. Many of these are the creations of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Executive Chef Ernie Reyes.

Notable concert guests this year are Taking Back Sunday, Home Free, Collective Soul, and The Commodores. There will be live entertainment practically every weekend during the festival for theme park guests to enjoy. A full entertainment list can be found on the official site for the event.

Special discounts are available to Busch Gardens Pass Members for food, drinks, concert seats, and more. Tickets are now on-sale.

Busch Gardens plans to launch a new hybrid coaster this year in the spring called Iron Gwazi, which they claim to be "North America’s tallest hybrid coaster and the fastest and steepest hybrid coaster in the world".
