By Jamie (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Food Fest! Your Complete Guide to Florida's Food Festivals (Paperback)
This guide is one of the best organized books I have ever purchased. All the festivals are organized very effectively, and the maps make it easy to figure out which festivals are in your specific part of Florida. I have found this book helpful for locating potential festivals when vacation planning - I recommend it for both Floridians and visitors. Thanks for writing this great resource!
