If you’re coming hungry to MHF (you should be)… make a beeline for Comida.

They’re new to Sarasota and you’re going to love them!

Comida is serving up bold Latin American flavors inspired by Central & South America…and you can taste the difference in every bite.

And here’s the part people LOVE:
- 100% gluten-free (no cross-contamination)
- Mostly organic ingredients
- And everything made from scratch, daily

Whether you’ve had them before or this is your first time… this is not your average festival food.

It’s the kind of food you keep going back for more.

Find Comida at My Hometown Fest this Saturday!

If your music taste lives somewhere between grit, groove, and goosebumps… this is your band.

Meet J Santi & The Vital Groove…where the fire of Stevie Ray Vaughan collides with the edge of Queens of the Stone Age and the timeless soul of Tom Petty.

This isn’t background music.
This is the kind of set that pulls you in, locks you down, and makes you feel something.

And for My Hometown Fest, they’re bringing a special lineup:
🎤 J Santi – Vocals & Electric Guitar
🎤 Sabrina McClenithan – Vocals & Acoustic Guitar
🥁 Marcus James – Drums
🎸 Nick Spagnuola – Bass

What happens when a surprise habanero changes someone's life... and ends up at Sarasota’s biggest festival? 🌶️

Well, you’re about to find out.

A few years ago, Lacey Flynn planted a garden looking for a fresh start.

One unexpected habanero pepper showed up where it wasn’t supposed to... and instead of ignoring it, she followed "the sign."

And tbh y'all, I'm glad she did.

'Cause that moment turned into Bombshell Hot Sauce.

A Florida-grown, handcrafted sauce made with peppers straight from her Naples garden, created to make your food sing and your taste buds dance.

And for the first time ever she’s bringing that same spicy energy to My Hometown Fest.

This is exactly why we love this festival.

Local creators turning passion into something delicious you can actually experience.

Real people, real stories, and the chance to say you know the Florida-based founder of what may just be the world's flirtiest hot sauce brand.

Gotta love it.

Come get a taste, meet the maker, at MHF… next Saturday! It’s almost time!
