If you're into sporting events or one of a kind parties, then keep reading! We have eight of the best events in Tampa this weekend, one Localite feature, and three ways to explore and discover your favorite city! No matter what you choose to do with your time off this weekend, enjoy it!  Here are a few things to do in Tampa to get you started. 

That’s So Fetch Party @ The Ritz

"Gretchen… stop trying to make fetch happen. It’s not 2004 anymore, so it's not going to happen!" If you're at The Ritz Ybor on Saturday, November 10, however, then fetch is definitely finally at the That's So Fetch Party in Tampa this weekend! Put on your custom cut Ed Hardy tank tops and your most glittery bedazzled denim for a night to celebrate the early 2000s on Saturday night in Ybor City! In addition to throwback styles, you can expect to jam out all night to classic hits from Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears, and more as VJ Sirius will be playing your favorite 2000s throwbacks to get your up on your feet!

Stop Light Party @ Club Prana

Remember the game Red Light/Green Light? Club Prana in Ybor makes mingling a little easier and a lot more fun Friday night with their Stop Light Party! The "rules" are simple: dress in the color that indicates your relationship status. If you’re attending as "single and ready to mingle," wear GREEN! If your status is complicated, show up curiously cute in YELLOW! If you're in a relationship, sport fierce and fiery RED to tease all the on-lookers and let them know you're taken. Get in on the game and grab your ticket to the Stop Light Party at Club Prana before it sells out!

Tampa Bay Lightning vs New York Islanders @ Amalie Arena

Put on your favorite jersey and catch the Tampa Bay Lightning play the New York Islanders at Amalie Arena this Friday Night! If you don’t have tickets to the game, head to Ferg’s Live or Hattricks to watch the game, eat some bar bites and drink some beers as you watch with like-minded fans! When I’m looking to watch a game, I head to Hattricks for their shake n bake style wings.. BBQ is my favorite flavor! As always, GO BOLTS!!

Steve-O @ Improv

Remember Jack-Ass and all the stupidity that went along with it? One of Jack-Asses craziest and most well-known actors, Steve-O is headed to the Improv Club in Tampa this Friday Night! You can be sure to see more stupidity, like the idiotic things he’s doing in this video below during his stand-up show this weekend!

Put on your best green and gold to cheer loud and proud for your alma mater!

Leah Foreman suggests the Tampa Greek Festival

One event worth checking this weekend is Tampa Greek Festival. There will be something for everyone at this event which has been going on for more than 30 years. Aside from a menu of Greek food favorites for dining in at St. John The Baptist Greek Orthodox Church's Grand Hall or take-out, there will be an Opa! Party Tent and there will be traditional and contemporary Greek music and dancing all weekend long! Also, there will be a Greek Market and a Kids Zone. This is definitely an event you don't want to miss!
