This 2nd Annual Jacksonville Tattoo Arts Festival will feature the best local, national, and International artists along with Tattoo Contests, sideshows, and vendors during this fun filled 3 day event.
Embark on a journey through St. Augustine’s history, shaped by Spanish exploration 458 years ago. Pedro Menéndez and settlers, with Spanish wine in tow, made their mark on our shores. Spain’s 4,000-year winemaking legacy endures, captivating Europe and dominating the American market.
Enter the St. Augustine Spanish Food & Wine Festival – more than a celebration, it is a showcase of our city’s essence. Beyond wine, it’s a fusion of Spanish culture, music, and food, transcending time.
This event supports Flagler College Hospitality & Tourism Management students, fostering education and promoting historical destination tourism. With each sip, note and bite, the festival invites you to be part of our city’s ongoing, rich Spanish heritage.
The festival’s mission is to connect St. Augustine to our city’s Spanish history through a series of special events that feature Spanish wine, cuisine and culture. The festival serves to raise money for local charities, provide memorable experiences for visitors, foster international economic development, and enrich the quality of life in our community.
St. Augustine history encompasses many cultures and ethnicities, but our primary history involves Spanish exploration and colonization. When Pedro Menéndez and the first 800 European settlers landed on our shore nearly 454 years ago, his ships carried survival provisions. Among his most treasured stores was Spanish wine.
Spain has cultivated wine grapes for more than 4,000 years. The Romans fell in love with Spanish wine and exported it throughout the Roman Empire. Spanish wine is the most popular wine in Europe and the fastest-growing segment of the American wine market. The St. Augustine Spanish Wine Festival is an opportunity to promote our city regionally, nationally and internationally, to help local charities and connect with our founders through products that are as relevant today as they were when the early Spanish explorers came to America.
Spanish culture, music, food and wine defy space and time. The festival and all of its events are designed to promote St. Augustine as the Spanish Wine Capitol of America and to facilitate historical-destination tourism.
