About this happenin
Ybor City was built on cigars, and once a year the people who still make them roll leaves by hand in Centennial Park while the crowd watches. The festival descends from the La Verbena del Tabaco celebrations Tampa threw for the industry in the 1930s, and the nonprofit Cigar Heritage Festival, Inc. puts it on. Roughly 150 vendors ring the park and spill onto the surrounding streets with handmade smokes from small blenders and famous houses alike, and other tables sell accessories and clothing. A food truck alley handles lunch and a beer and spirits truck pours drinks. There's live music on a stage through the afternoon. It runs 11 am to 5 pm, rain or shine, and general admission is free. Paid upgrades are sold each year and tend to sell out well ahead. They include a VIP tent where lunch and an open bar come with premium cigars, and reserved pavilion seating with drink tickets. Bring a lawn chair, since park seating is what you carry in. You must be 21 to buy alcohol.
