The Tampa Bay Collard Green Festival is an annual, vibrant community event held during Presidents' Day weekend, spotlighting health, wellness, and cultural heritage. Our mission is to raise awareness about heart disease in Black communities and promote accessible solutions for health equity through a celebration of collard greens and farm-to-table eating. Volunteers help bring this vision to life by assisting with fun activities, fitness sessions, cooking demonstrations, and our popular 5K Fun Run. With a turnout of over 12,000 attendees, volunteers have a unique opportunity to support a meaningful cause and enjoy a weekend of food, fitness, and community engagement.
