The Ybor City Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce that the 68th Annual Fiesta Day Celebration will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2015 from 11 am. to 6 pm along East 7th Avenue in the Ybor City Historic District.

This family-friendly, FREE "street festival" celebrates the cuisine, culture and heritage of the Latin immigrants who settled in Ybor City at the turn of the 19th Century.

Fiesta Day started out as a "verbena" or day of rest for the cigar workers who settled in Ybor City, The "Cigar City Capital of the World" from Spain, Cuba, Germany and Italy and now attracts thousands of passionate people to the festival's exquisite ethnic food and entertainment.

In its 68th year, the celebration commemorates these Cuban, Italian, Spanish, Jewish and German immigrants that settled in Ybor City in the late 1800's as the cigar factories thrived.
