If you don’t get lucky on Valentine’s Day, you can still enjoy the next best thing: eating a ton of french fries the following day.
St. Petersburg’s third annual French Fry Festival is Feb. 15. More than 30 food trucks will be at North Straub Park, 400 Bayshore Drive N.E., from 6 to 11p.m. serving up delectable hot fries.
Admission is free, and all vendors accept cards and cash. You can bring your pets, lawn chairs and picnic blankets. TL Jentgens, a one-man band, will play some tunes while street performers entertain.
The vendors will serve up special french fry-inspired dishes, as well as their normal cuisine and most importantly: alcohol.
Get ready to get drunk, lay out by the bay and stuff your face with french fries. What could be better than that? Oh yeah, maybe an eventful Valentine’s Day.
