Save the date for March 2, 2025. The South Tampa Chamber is hosting their food festival at Tampa Garden Club. From 1 to 4 p.m., more than 40 restaurants will serve up their best dishes.

Sponsored by law firm Older, Lundy, Koch, & Martino, attendees can enjoy unlimited food and drinks for $50. Looking for VIP perks? Pay $100 for early entry, indoor seating, and special offerings.

"When we talk about the businesses here in South Tampa, it's small business, local business, your friends, family and neighbors," said Kelly Flannery, CEO of South Tampa Chamber, to ABC Action News.

Come taste delicious offerings from Cookie Dough Bliss, Gogos Greek Grill, Sugar Wing, and OddFellows Ice Cream. Newcomer Island Fin Poke Co. joins the lineup. Nick Glover from Island Fin Poke Co. explains, "We have a really important principle called 'Ohana,' which is the Hawaiian word for family. So we believe our guests become our friends, and our friends become our family."

Enjoy live music while hanging out in the beer garden. Children under 10 get in free with regular admission, but VIP access requires paid tickets for all ages.
