What was once referred to as The Food & Wine Festival at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay <\/a>is now called the Food, Wine and Garden Festival. But don\u2019t worry, booze and food is still at the forefront of this popular annual event, which runs from March 6-May 9.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the park, this year\u2019s festival will now prominently showcase new animal-inspired \u201cgarden elements\u201d and plant sculptures. Of course, the Food, Wine and Garden Festival will also feature 65 new food options to pair with various wines, craft beers and cocktails.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cGuests can savor all-new dishes like the Red Wine-Braised Short Rib and Herb-Crusted Lamb Steak,\u201d says the park in a press release. \u201cAdditional offerings include the fan-favorite Cajun Lobster Roll and the Smoked Chicken & White Cheddar Mac & Cheese. Visitors will indulge in sweet treats, including Mini Bananas Foster Crepes and a Mixed Berry Tart.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

All food and drink items can be purchased individually, but if you want to really explore a more economical route would be to grab a \u201cSampler Lanyard,\u201d which start at $65 and can be purchased online or in-park at festival cabins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s live music offerings will happen every Saturday and are free with general admission. The 2026 concert lineup features something for everyone, like Taking Back Sunday, Warren G, Bow Wow & Ying Yang Twins and more. VIP seating upgrades are also available<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
