FloridaEscape is excited to announce the return of the 4th Annual 321: Tacos & Treats Throwdown, the ultimate food festival where flavor meets fun at an affordable price! This eagerly awaited event is set to take over Wickham Park in Melbourne, Florida, on May 17th and 18th, 2025. Get ready for a weekend filled with the best tacos and desserts that the Space Coast has to offer, all priced at $5 or less!

A Festival of Flavors

From noon to evening, festival-goers will have the opportunity to explore an array of a-la-carte Taco and Dessert Menus. With event-special pricing ranging from just $1-$5 per item, attendees can indulge in a wide variety of tastes without straining their wallets. The festival not only highlights culinary delights but also features an assortment of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, including specialty Margaritas to keep the spirits high.

More Than Just Good Eats

The 321 Tacos & Treats Throwdown is more than a food festival; it’s a vibrant celebration of community and culture. Throughout the weekend, several of the area’s hottest local bands will provide live music, creating a lively backdrop for the festivities. In addition, the event boasts a craft fair marketplace with over 100 local crafters, artists, specialty artisans, and small businesses, making it a perfect spot for unique finds and gifts.

Family Fun and Festivities

This year, the festival is set to be more family-friendly than ever. A new Free Kids Zone will offer bounce houses and inflatable obstacle courses, ensuring that the little ones have as much fun as the adults. Additional interactive activities include ax throwing, face painting, and a foam party, promising enjoyment for all ages.

Culinary Competitions

As a highlight of the event, food vendors will compete in both a Taco Division and a Dessert Division. These competitions will be judged by a panel of vetted judges, while attendees also get a chance to cast their votes for the “People’s Choice” awards, adding an interactive element to the festival experience.

Supporting a Good Cause

In partnership with local nonprofit The Children’s Hunger Project, the 4th Annual 321: Tacos & Treats Throwdown continues its tradition of giving back. This organization is dedicated to feeding Brevard County’s most vulnerable children on the weekends, and a portion of the event’s proceeds will support this vital cause.
