TAMPA BAY, Fla. — They’re calling it The Battle of the Bites.

Pinellas Park hosts Pinellas TacoFest 2025 on Saturday and Sunday.

Last year, Tampa Bay devoured 25,000 tacos at the event. Organizers hope to exceed the number this weekend, as more than 20 chefs offer 50 different varieties of tacos.

“It’s going to be amazing,” said Michele Northrup, the event organizer. “We have many, many, many more taco choices this year.”

At the event, judges will crown “Best Taco in Tampa Bay 2025,” along with winners in categories for chicken, beef, pork and seafood.

Proceeds will benefit Get Rescued, Inc., helping animals across Florida. The event is free to attend, but you pay for any tacos you eat.
