The annual Verizon Ybor City Heritage & Cigar Festival (formerly Cigar Heritage Festival) has a new name and a new look. Join the thousands of heritage and cigar enthusiasts who will enjoy a day of activities celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Ybor City and the cigar industry. Admission to the festival is only $5 for a full day of activities. Children 12 and under are free.

Highlights include traditional foods, sports zone, kid's zone, antique car display, beer and wine garden, and an outdoor cigar exhibit. In addition to some of the world's finest cigars, the on-site broadcast of the Cigar Dave Show and live entertainment by Hot Sun Quartet are always a big hit. Scheduled tours of the Ybor City Museum State Park, the Ybor City Saturday Market and shopping at the Museum Store and 19th Street Shops are also available.

This year, you can participate in the finale of the "Cigars for Soldiers" project, when cigars that were purchased at various cigar shops and the Museum Store are collected for soldiers and shipped to Afghanistan. Cigars purchased at the festival can be donated at the "Cigars for Soldiers" tent.
