With Thanksgiving behind us, the Holiday season can finally begin! As Tampa homes and businesses begin to deck the halls, one of Tampa’s premier hotels will soon be kicking it off right with all the bells and whistles and spectacular Holiday trimmings.  Always a breathtaking event from the massive tree in their sparkling lobby surrounded by the LARGEST gingerbread town  we have ever seen, to the entertainment, the drinks and more, we can’t wait for December 1st and the official tree-lighting party at the Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina in downtown Tampa

The ceremony this year begins at 4:30 pm and lasts till 6:00 pm.  During this time, you, your family and friends can enjoy family fun festivities with performances by the Brandon High Choir, a Candyland themed Gingerbread Village with hot chocolate for the kids and demo stations for the adults from Coppertail Brewing Co. and St. Pete Distillery. There will be Apple Cider, Righteous Rum signature cocktails and other holiday spirits available too!

The event will play host to the Wonderland Toy Mobile: a toy drive benefitting the children at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, a CMN Hospital. Gift-in-kind receipts will be issued at the time of toy drop off.
