The countdown is on as together we get over hump-day, excited for the weekend to finally arrive! There is plenty to keep us busy this Memorial Day Weekend in Tampa, from a huge beach volleyball tournament to A-List entertainers, Margaritas, an EDM fest, Pool and Rooftop parties to fireworks, twice! Here it is...Top Ten Things to Do This Weekend in Tampa Bay! Have fun, stay safe and don't forget what we are celebrating and the cost of that freedom.
