Tampa may be best known for Guavaween and its multiple Gasparilla pirate themed fests.  Now, Tampa can make its mark on the map with its many liquor fests.

Last May, I wasted away with thousands of people at the very first Margarita Festival.  Coming August 24^th, the Summer of Rum Festival will rock downtown Tampa like a hurricane.

With live music and fabulous food trucks, the Summer of Rum Festival is another event not to miss!  Why worry about August heat and humidity?  The Summer of Rum Fest is an indoor and outdoor event, so you can chill like a Cruzan Bay Breeze.

Much like the Margarita Festival, the Summer of Rum Festival guests can chose from two types of tickets.

• General Admission – Gives you access to the Summer of Rum with all day re-entry privileges.  Enjoy live entertainment on our main-stage, each our unique rum zones, rum shacks, and more while you sip on your rum drinks. Once inside, your rum drinks are ALL ONLY $5.
• Endless Cup – Offers UNLIMITED Rum Drinks at all of our Rum Zones, however, food, beer and water are sold separately.  Rum Zones include the Cruzan Daiquiri Deck, The Naked Turtle and The Appleton Rum Shacks and much more.  These tickets also include GA admissions with all-day re-entry access, swag bags and 16-oz commemorative Summer of Rum hurricane glasses for enjoying unlimited refills of refreshing drinks!

So which Summer of Rum Fest will you choose?  With the Endless Cup ticket, I believe my hurricane glass will runneth over.

Join me at the Summer of Rum Fest on August 24^th from 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm in The Heights Waterfront, Downtown Tampa, 1910 N. Ola Ave.  Plan to fest safely with Safe Travels or a room at one of the hotel host sites.
