Fiesta Day, Ybor City, 2012

Fiesta Day Ybor City
Saturday, Feb 25 10:00a - 6PM
at Ybor City, Tampa, FL

Fiesta Day (a traditional street festival) is a tribute to the Cuban, Italian, German, Jewish, African and Spanish immigrants that came to Ybor City back in the late 1800's. It's a great way to celebrate the Latin cusine, culture, heritage, etc. that shapes the current culture of Tampa Bay.

As the Cuban cigar factories were booming, these immigrants settled in the Ybor City district of Tampa. Ybor City Day, as it was known, originally began as a day of rest for the cigar workers of the district.

They expect about 15,000 people to attend the event.

Cost: Free!
