ST. AUGUSTINE: TASTE OF LATINO FESTIVAL: Empanada Smackdown & LideresAwards

About This Event

The Taste of Latino Festival in St. Augustine combines a competitive Empanada and Cuban Sandwich Smackdown with the formal recognition of community leaders via the Latino Lideres Awards, creating a rare hybrid of culinary rivalry and civic honor. What makes it distinct is the juxtaposition of a messy, public food fight for bragging rights against a dignified ceremony celebrating local impact, all within a single free-admission event at Francis Field. This dual focus on both gastronomic street credibility and professional achievement offers attendees a uniquely layered cultural experience beyond typical festival fare.
