Raise a Glass for Bier Fest

This is the third year of Bier Fest at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, and it looks like there’s no sign of slowing down! Guests can sip and savor seasonal brew offerings and new recipes featuring fall flavors at one of Florida’s most spacious outdoor theme parks. In addition to enhancing the park’s already strict health and safety measures, capacity will be significantly limited to create even more open space for guests to enjoy Bier Fest every Saturday and Sunday from Sept. 12 to Nov. 15.
