BSP’S Inaugural Food & Beverage Festival

Proceeds of this event benefit Bonnet Springs Park

Due to the impact of Hurricane Milton, Bonnet Springs Park has made the difficult decision to cancel the Central Florida Food Fest on October 19, 2024. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of the Park! We look forward to welcoming you back to the Central Florida Food Fest next year, where we hope to create an even more memorable experience together.

Stay tuned for our 2025 date!
