Sticks of Fire: a Tampa blog

You want to know about big festivals and other events? They may be held at parks such as Coachman Park, Plant Park, Al Lopez Park, Curtis Hixon Park, Cotanchobee Park or a number of other public and private locations including the St. Pete Pier, the Florida State Fairgrounds (including Davis Special Events Center, Lykes Arena, Expo Hall, Equestrian pavilion and Entertainment Hall), Plant City Festival Grounds, Ybor City, Ybor Centennial Park, Safety Harbor, MacDill Air Force Base, Raymond James Stadium Parking Lot (no link), Tampa Convention Center, Centro Ybor, Vinoy Park, Zephyrhills Festival Park.

Many parties, fundraisers, and trade shows are held at A La Carte Pavilion, The Bob Martinez Sports Center (UT), and the Pinellas Expo Center. I cannot locate links to The Fort Homer Hesterly Armory or the West Tampa Convention Center.

Parades generally run through Ybor City, Downtown St. Pete, or Downtown Tampa.

Finally, theme parks and attractions sometimes have fun events too. Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, Lowry Park Zoo, The Florida Aquarium, Museum of Science and Industry, the Salvador Dali Museum, Fantasy of Flight, Florida International Museum, and the Tampa Museum of Art each have unique shows throughout the year.
