The Fest @ Tampa Bay 2027
The Fest @ Tampa Bay is the evolution of the Tampa Bay Black Heritage Music Fest into a larger waterfront celebration of live music, art, culture, entertainment, and community. It is an official event of the Tampa Bay Black Heritage Festival, a Florida nonprofit that presents heritage programming from January through April.
The 2027 edition is scheduled for 17–18 April at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in downtown Tampa, beside the Hillsborough River. Organizers describe two days of live music, visual art, family programming, wellness, food, and a vendor marketplace. Gates open at noon both days, with music into the evening. Kids 12 and under are free with a ticketed adult. Accessible routes, viewing, and a sensory quiet tent are planned; access inquiries go to [email protected].
