Step into a world of eerie elegance when Whispers After Dark descends on Water Street Tampa, Wednesday, Oct. 29, from 6–9 p.m.

This free, open-to-the-public soirée conjures an evening of spirits, fortune tellers, fire dancers, live music, mysterious encounters, and more across six immersive themed areas.

Think of it as a bubbling cauldron of art, music, performance, and ghostly glamour — complete with otherworldly decor, unexpected frights + delights, and plenty of Instagrammable moments.

Feeling extra spirited? Snag tix for the Spirit Walk, a tasting trail with ten festive stops featuring seasonal sips and bites throughout the neighborhood.
