The 9th Annual International Cuban Sandwich Festival returns to Centennial Park in Tampa this year

The 9th Annual International Cuban Sandwich Festival returns to Centennial Park in Tampa this year. Yes, spring will be in the air as well as the wonderful scent of Lechon and crackling sweet plantains on March 29.

Last year, vendors attempted to set the record for the world’s largest Cuban sandwich — and they’re looking to do the same this year with a 170+-foot sandwich.

It’s free to attend; however, those looking for a VIP experience can purchase VIP tickets. Those tickets include access to the exclusive VIP area and a sampling of the Cuban Sandwich contest entries and refreshments. You can register for the event and get your free tickets here. Centennial Park is located at 1800 East 8th Avenue.
