| Why |
With its focus on “the bird,”
Thanksgiving can be a challenging holiday for the growing number of Americans
who avoid meat and animal products.
For the fourth year in a row,
Tampa joins the ranks of hundreds of other communities offering an alternative celebration.
Expect to see a stunning selection of delicious home-cooked dishes and desserts.
