What we do Since 2018

We are not just a festival.

We are a movement rooted in health, history, and healing.

The Tampa Bay Collard Green Festival is a community-driven nonprofit that strengthens lives through what brings people together most: food, joy, movement, and culture. Through innovative programs, strong partnerships, and a citywide celebration, we help families build healthier habits, strengthen local economies, and reconnect generations, one meaningful experience at a time.

We meet people where they are and walk with them toward better health, greater opportunity, and lasting change..
