Busch Gardens’ Food & Wine Festival wraps later this month

At Busch Gardens Tampa Bay , your best bets for grub usually range from chicken tenders, to pizza, and barbecue from the smokehouse—but for a month each year, there’s a little more variety.

The theme park and zoo’s 2024 Food & Wine Festival runs weekends and wraps on May 19.

It features twists on food from around the world including South African curry stew (bunny chow) and baked meat pies (bobotie), or options from Argentina (beef chimichurri), France (ratatouille), Spanish meatballs (albondigas), the U.S. (lobster rolls) and way more, all paired wines, too.

Access to the food—plus concerts from the likes of Boys LIke Girls, .38 Special—is included with park admission, but items are priced a la carte, with sampler lanyard options ($70-$85), too.

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s 2024 Food & Wine Festival happens Fridays-Sundays through May 19 and included with park admission.
