Trophies and cash prizes are handed out to those in costume who best capture the Guavaween spirit. The costume contest winner receives $1,000 in cash prizes. Mama Guava has sworn to the take the "bore" out of Ybor City, and you'll absolutely love the way she livens up the place.
From 11 a.m. - 4 p.m., there will be a Family Funfest, so be sure that you can bring the kids along. At 4 p.m., the night festivities begin.
