There will be food from Tango Argentinean Street Food, That's My Dog Food Truck, Nonna's Kitchen, Ebe's Cuban Café, LA Autentica, Urban Howse, Idly Latin and more. There will be a warm and inviting lakefront setting, complete with splash pad and playground for the kiddies. There will be dance performances and live music from El Calvito Reyes & Su Salsa Nueva and Orquesta Zurisadai; there will even salsa aerobics (do not attempt directly after eating).

But in truth, this festival had us hooked from the moment we saw the words "276-foot-long Cuban sandwich." Show up and see if they pull off the world's largest Cuban sandwich, and to hiss at Tampeños who think salami has any place on a cubano.

Noon Sunday, May 7, Kissimmee Lakefront Park, 201 Lakeview Drive, Kissimmee, cubansandwichfestival.com, free admission.
