The Centre for Women extends its heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make the 34th Annual Gourmet Feastival an unforgettable evening.

Thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, TECO, nearly 1,000 guests enjoyed an incredible Havana Nights experience featuring exceptional cuisine, fine wines and spirits, live entertainment, tropical décor, and an amazing silent auction. We are so grateful for the generosity of our remarkable sponsors, restaurants, beverage partners, volunteers, and supporters.

The music of CARIBEÑO TROPICAL set the stage as our engaging emcees, Tampa favorites Gayle Guyardo of HNN and Dimelotony (Tony) from the Maxima Morning Show, guided our guests through a vibrant evening filled with Salsa Dancing and delicious bites and beverages.

VIPs were treated to exceptional fare from Ybor Grille, Dolce Dawn, and ABC Fine Wine & Spirits.

The enthusiastic response from attendees has been overwhelming, with many calling it one of the best Feastivals ever. Most importantly, the event raised critical funds that will help The Centre for Women continue empowering women, strengthening families, and building a stronger Tampa Bay.

Thank you to our Feastival Chair Sharon Conklin-Perez and Co-chair Craig Beckinger of ABC Events who transformed Higgins Hall into a fabulous Cuban-themed setting. Heartfelt gratitude to all of our generous sponsors, media partners, board members, Feastival committee members, staff, volunteers, culinary partners, and every guest who joined us. Your generosity and commitment made this extraordinary evening possible.

We look forward to welcoming you back next year!
