A Taste of Pinellas this weekend


A Taste of Pinellas technically started yesterday (sorry), but you still have the rest of the weekend to enjoy the music and activities. They even have a Kids Zone so it’s a family-friendly event. Best of all, most of the fun is absolutely free.
If you don’t know how the “taste” format works, it’s simple: You buy tickets and use them to sample food from area restaurants. A sheet of eight tickets costs $5 and each sample costs a certain number of tickets. It’s a nice way to try different food from a variety of vendors and it’s a benefit for All Children’s Hospital.
But really, I’m mentioning A Taste of Pinellas for the free stuff—namely, free admission and free music. Saturday they have different acts starting at 1 p.m. and ending with a concert by Travis Tritt at 8 p.m. There’s also a fireworks show at 9:45. On Sunday the music also starts at 1 p.m. and ends with a set by KC & the Sunshine Band at 5:30. You can bring a blanket and some folding chairs and enjoy all the music without spending a penny. Free entertainment is always a good thing.
A taste of Pinellas is held at Vinoy Park, 501 5th Ave. NE, and begins at noon on both remaining days. For more information, visit www.tasteofpinellas.com.
