We are gonna go ahead and get this out of the way now, so no one is disappointed..
This is a THEMED FOOD event...
The Food Vendors will have their NORMAL items AS WELL AS specialty items , using Coco as the main ingredient.
There are in fact many dedicated Chocolate Vendors... however, this is not just the same Chocolate event that everyone else throws..
We do our own thing.
This event AVERAGES around 12k attendees , and that goes up every year ..
If you show up at the end of the day.. you run the risk of food running out. Food Vendors can only hold so much.
Food Vendors are not fast food. Food takes the time to cook that it takes. Keep in mind Food Vendors normally have 1 or 2 cooks, and 1 person taking orders. If patience isnt your thing... we are sure McDonalds has something chocolate down the road that will be in your hand in about 20 seconds (if the machine is working).
Please plan on having fun.
If you plan on just coming to critique an event, please don't bother. We prefer happy attendees, that are tolerant of everyone.
People that come on the event page to be rude will be banned from the page.
The event is free to Enter.
There are food options for everyoe, vegetarian, gluten free, kto, paleo, Pescatarian, and maybe even Pesca-Pescatarian...
The event is pet friendly, however , you will still need to bring whatever you need to take care of said pet.
If you have any questions, feel free to email us at [email protected]
Thank you to everyone for the love, patience, and understanding... we hope to make this years Tampa Bay Chocolate Festival better than ever!
