Tampa Bay Coffee & Art Festival
Oct 24
Special Events Center at Florida State Fairgrounds, MLK Boulevard entrance, Gate 3 · Florida State Fairgrounds · Tampa
The organizer lists October 24, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., but the venue's event details say 10 a.m.-4 p.m. General tickets include a selected three-hour tasting session; VIP advertises 9:30 a.m. early entry and all-day tasting. Confirm your session and closing time with the organizer before planning around a shared start.
Florida roasters and artists gather at the Special Events Center; choose a tasting session and check the conflicting closing times.
The coffee festival's tenth-anniversary celebration brings Florida roasters, art vendors, coffee panels, a curated gallery and outdoor food trucks to the Special Events Center on October 24. General tickets include all-day event access and a selected three-hour tasting session, not unlimited all-day sampling; VIP advertises early entry and all-day tasting. The venue lists admission from $13-$30 and separate parking of $10 online or $12 onsite; verify the current ticket tier and fees. Use the MLK Boulevard entrance for Gate 3, not the Expo Hall's US Highway 301 gate. Published closing times conflict, so confirm the schedule before visiting.
One of our hand-picked Tampa Bay highlights. Dates and times come from the organizer and can change. Confirm on the official page before heading out.
