“We had a chance to explore Downtown and the Tampa Riverwalk, where there were endless attractions and activities provided for us. On Wednesday evening, we headed to Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park to enjoy their Winter Village. Several of our group members enjoyed ice skating and walking the Riverwalk. It was such an incredible experience for our entire group. This amazing trip wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of Visit Tampa Bay and its partners. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I know many of our group members will visit again.”
