For some reason the spelling of the name of the City, Ybor, looks to be perfect for a Halloween event. I hope all who attends really enjoy the time.

Bill & Barbara-Jo - Did you go? Do you know where the name "Guavaween" comes from. I love guava, but I've never heard of this event.

Tom - while we did not get to the festival, the idea of Tampa being the Guava City started when Gavino Guiterrez came to the area in 1884. He wanted to make Tampa the commercial center for guavas. Since New York is called the Big Apple, he wanted to make Tampa the Big Guava. It did not work out, but about 20 years ago people took the 'Big Guava' part of Tampa's history to name the annual Halloween event Guavaween!!!!

And THAT'S THE REST OF THE STORY -
