Celebrate the holiday season in Tampa’s most lit neighborhood.

Water Street Tampa kicks off the holiday season Friday, Nov. 18, from 6 to 9 p.m.

Stop by for a holiday-themed silent disco, live music, photo ops with Santa, hot chocolate bars, and the big Kahuna — a 30-foot tree-lighting at Sparkman Wharf.

Plus, a portion of the proceeds from any seasonal cocktails and food you purchase will be donated to the Tampa Bay Lightning Foundation + given to Feeding Tampa Bay and Metropolitan Ministries.

Can’t stop by this weekend? There’s plenty of holiday cheer to be had at Water Street all December long.
