Calling all Tampans, Tampanians, and Tampeños.

The Cigar City is celebrating 813 Day this Sunday, and we’ve got a bounty of ways to get in the Hillsborough County spirit.

Sparkman Wharf + Water Street

Take a photo in front of Sparkman Wharf’s iconic (and now decorated) Tampa sign + post on social media through Sunday, Aug. 13, and the Wharf will donate $5 to The Florida Aquarium.

Head over to Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Sparkman at 8:13 p.m. on you guessed it, Sunday, Aug. 13 — the first 50 people score a free scoop.

Plus, a bevy of Water Street Tampa and Sparkman Wharf retailers and restaurants are offering $8.13 deals.
