Enjoy a spectacular night while supporting youth education as you imbibe in some of the best food and wine at one of our Top 10 Things to Do This Weekend in Tampa Bay. The 16th annual SeaGrapes Wine & Food Festival at the Florida Aquarium kicks things up a notch this Friday night in the Channelside District at 8 PM as they uncork yet another unforgettable night!

Join us at Tampa's Celebrated SeaGrapes Festival

The Florida Aquarium's sixteenth annual SeaGrapes event takes place this Friday, May 12 at the aquarium. This party boasts over 100 different specialty wines and several exotic dishes from around the world, right here in your own backyard! This DON'T MISS Tampa event supports the Florida Aquarium's youth education programs, animal care funds and important research initiatives. Isn't it true, the best parties are the ones that help others, which is what SeaGrapes is all about! 

For years the Florida Aquarium has displayed a focused mission to "entertain, educate and inspire stewardship about our natural environment," making every party, event and festival more special...and SeaGrapes, well for this writer, is by far one of the most fun! Recognize any Tankful guys in this photo from a previous year?

As you stroll the aquarium making native sea life friends you will enjoy live music along the way as you uncover new food and wine treasures! Look for the silent auction, always spectacular, SeaGrapes continually offers awesome packages and prizes, like a Girls Night Out with Hablo Taco, a night at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, with spa and restaurant gift certificates and more!
