Organizers will hold the third annual Tampa Bay Empanada Festival on Saturday.
They’re promising more than 100 types of empanadas from more than 25 different vendors.
Co-organizer Stephen McFarlane told Spectrum Bay News 9 that every country has its own kind of an empanada. He says the festival is a celebration of that, where you can try versions you’ve never tried before.
“My idea was, if you bring a fusion of all those different countries at one event, it’s going to be unique,” McFarlane said. “There will be food there that you’ve never heard before. Try it! Everything at this event is absolutely spectacular.”
The event is happening on Saturday from noon to 8:00 p.m. at Perry Harvey Sr. Park. You can purchase tickets at TampaEmpanadas.com.
