On Saturday we held Tampa’s Downtown River O’Green, presented by Grow Financial at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park! We had a blast continuing our annual tradition of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day Downtown! In addition to coloring the river green, we enjoyed themed food, live entertainment that incorporated Irish cultural elements, games, activities, and more!
Large events like this wouldn’t be possible without the gracious help of our vendors and sponsors who make all the difference.
Big thank you to this year’s food & beverage vendors:
-JB’s Sweet Addiction
-Mi Cafecito
-Street Surfer
-The Fryer House
-Wheelin N’ Grillin

Another thank you to this year’s sponsors for helping us bring the luck of the Irish to Tampa’s Downtown:
