Join the Ybor City Chamber of Commerce as it honors the vibrant tapestry of cultures that make Ybor City a unique and cherished community during the 78th Annual Fiesta Day celebration on February 22, 2025 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. along 7th Avenue. The 78th Fiesta Day is proudly presented by J.C. Newman Cigar Company.
An array of vendors and organizations will highlight cultural foods, arts and crafts, specialty products, and information along five city blocks spanning 7th Avenue. Live entertainment will be presented on the Fiesta Stage, in Centro Ybor. At 2 p.m., a Promenade of Flags, led by the Hillsborough High School Drum Band, will march down “La Septima” (7th Avenue), honoring the multitude of countries and friends that have made Ybor City what it is today.
“Fiesta Day is one of the oldest events in Tampa Bay,” said Lee Bell, Ybor City Chamber of Commerce President & CEO. “We encourage all who love Ybor, young and old, to come out for this wonderful, family-friendly daylong celebration.”
Fiesta Day is a cherished tradition in Ybor City, which commemorates the rich history of Ybor and highlights the cultural contributions of its early immigrants who relocated to the “Cigar Capital of the World.” Originally a day of rest for the factory workers, Fiesta Day has grown into a street festival that brings together Cuban, German, Italian, Spanish, and Jewish heritages.
This all-day event features traditions from the cultures that have influenced the city’s rich history and continue to shape its future. Take a stroll through the National Historic Landmark District that is Ybor City and enjoy all the sights and sounds offered to visitors.
