Happy Pride Month Tampa's Downtown!

Here at the Tampa Downtown Partnership, we strive to ensure that our Downtown is a Downtown for all. We wish everyone residing in Tampa’s Downtown and beyond a happy, fun, and safe Pride Month!

THURSDAY: One of our What's Pop-In sessions will take place at Downtown's Backyard Market

Get ready to double up on fun this week at Downtown’s Backyard Market on Thursday from 12:00pm – 4:30pm at Tampa City Center’s Esplanade!

 

In addition to the usual farm-fresh goodies available for purchase from local vendors, we will also be holding an extra What’s Pop-In session! Due to last week’s inclement weather cancellations, we wanted to create another opportunity for us to hear from YOU.

 

Come out to enjoy our take on a traditional farmer’s market, while having the chance to take a survey and provide feedback on what you want to see from US in our work plans for the coming fiscal year!
