Festival of Flight - The lighted ballon

We went to Festival of Flight last year, and the crowd did not even compare to this years. This…read moreyear apparently there was a lack of planning for parking control as well as emergency services back up. People also were stuck in traffic for up to three hours. We live about 15 minutes from this Festival and seeing that we live in the area, we had an idea of how to get out of the traffic. It looked horrendous. We were able to go through the entrance where the dmv was. They blocked it with cones, but we got in anyway. There was a good number of parking. We enjoyed the balloons and can tell a huge increase in people. It's nice to see them when it's lighter out then turns dark. You have to sit and wait for the hot air flame to come up in the dark to take the picture or else it's too dark. I'm thinking this will be the last Festival of Flight in the area. I love it's so close but yes, there were tons of people and small streets. They do have vendors there like some food selections and some crafts, but nothing that sparked my eye. There was a band too, but too country twangy for me.

This is the third annual of the festival. This year they draw a large crowd to the festival. They…read moreare plenty of parking since there are many warehouses. This year the turnout is in the very large number and the traffic jam from the highway to the aero park. Many have turned away because of the traffic situation. This bad traffic flow happens due the one way in and out situation to the aero park. The Pasco County also did not make it better by putting the direction of traffic flow in single entry point. In order to make this festival success, the county needs to widen this road. If there is star give out to Pasco County Traffic is zero star. Once you are in the festival, it is spectacular to see the balloon light out. They over ten balloons lighted at night in the first night. When you get close, you can see the balloon heat when they fire the touch. There are some balloons with great design. I have not been to lighted balloon and this is my first. I have been to balloon take off in the morning but not at night. There are some food truck and merchandise vendor. Live music and plane display in the ground. It is event for all ages.

The 2020 Wesley Chapel Taco Festival is at the Grove at Wesley Chapel on Saturday & Sunday,…read moreSeptember 19-20. It is set up on the grounds in front of the Cobb Theatre & Cinebistro. I'll start from the beginning to the end of our experience. Ticketing was easy. You can buy tickets on line or at the entrance tent. We got ours online. The tickets are $10 for an individual or $35 for a family of 4. Parking is free or for $5 you can have the VIP Parking near the front gate of the event. We paid for the parking when we ordered the tickets because if there is a VIP parking, you'd expect a significantly longer walk then regular parking but that wasn't the case. Do yourself a favor and save yourself $5. With general admission, your 1st drink is free (a margarita shot). Ummm...It wasn't really a full shot. It was a swallow soooo....but there is a bar to buy alcoholic drinks that are around $10, water was $1, and sodas were $2. As you walk up to the two lines to enter (pre-paid line and pay at the gate line), we noticed that there were no social distancing markers on the ground or signs reminding people to do so. Masks are not required either so be prepared for that. People pretty much kept their distance so social conditioning works at times. The prepaid line took longer for people to get through then the pay at the gate line. There was only 1 guy working the prepaid line and 2 (sometimes 3) people working the other line so that was a bit annoying. So what's the point of prepaying? Once inside, they had a lot of great food vendors and some fun activities for all age groups. Tacos were about $4 but there were a few places like La Pirata that offered tacos 2 for $5. Their caribbean and spicy jerk tacos were so good! I also ordered their smoked flan with blueberry sauce...MMMM. There were some really fun activities including mechanical bull riding, axe throwing with Molly Hatchets, and a Kids Zone w/ bounce houses and carnival games. They really weren't sanitizing the bounce houses so the little one in our party didn't get in it but I love the fact that every child that played the carnival game received a prize. There was this tiny little girl, around 2, playing and she won a prize. Too cute! MOST food items and ALL activities work on a ticket system and I saw one ticket station which is the one we went to buy our tickets. I used my credit card though with the food and product vendors that I bought things from. We enjoyed watching the hot pepper eating contest, listening to the live country music of Angie Rey and her band, all while sitting under a covered tent eating our grub. All and all it was a fun day. As far as festivals go, this can be an expensive day for families with children. With $10 pp for people 3 years and older, I'm not sure I would bring the whole family. If you have a family of 4 then you're paying $40 at the gate before food and activities. There should be a reduced price for children 12 and under because parents will be paying for the kids to do activities and eat goodies. If you're ballin", bring the whole family if not, you might want to wait for a festival with a more affordable entrance fee.

Another excellent time at the fair grounds! This time for the Dream Asia Fest. This festival was…read moreabsolutely amazing! Hope they come back annually. Buying tickets was easy. Bought parking through the fairgrounds website. Getting into parking was easy and I was navigated to my gate entrance to enter. They had so many food, drink, and shopping vendors. Live music and entertainment from both the crowd and the people running the stage. Great time and a lot of fun!

I'm definitely bias since I've only gone to the Minnesota State Fair which is the #1state fair…read moreturnout in the country every year for the 12 days that it's open. Parking was $15 on-site & fair entrance was free for me with my FL medical professional license ID card since I went on a promo day for it. The best part of the Fl State Fair was the petting zoo of baby goats, donkeys, llama alpacas which was free to enter & pet at your own risk of poop & pee from the animals. Some of the alpacas were very agreeable to selfies lol so funny they knew the assignment well. 5 stars for the animals & zero stars everything else. All the food was terrible. I definitely wouldn't go back again. Even if the entrance fee or parking was free... not worth it. My friends that were born & raised in the Tampa Bay Area told me not to go that it's not worth it... should a listened to them lol. None of my Florida friends wanted to go that have lived in Tampa their whole life. I went for the experience. I didn't go on any rides, my germ radar was on too high alert lol.
