Wastin’ the day away at a margarita festival

Get a jump start on your summer at the Tampa Bay Margarita and Music Festival with refreshing beverages and music from rapper Nelly and indie rock band Cold War Kids.

The May 25 festival at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park in Tampa will feature over 60 variations of Jimmy Buffett’s signature drink. From pineapple Sriracha to churro margarita, choosing between frozen or on the rocks will be the least of your concerns.

General admission starts at $20. Add an extra $30 to try up to five of the featured 30 tequila brands at the Grand Tequila Tasting at the festival.
