Alright, weekend warriors. It’s time to check out the top events across Tampa and St. Pete this weekend:
Orlando City Soccer Club vs. Inter Miami CF
Orlando City Soccer Club and Inter Miami CF faceoff tonight at Raymond James Stadium at 7:30 p.m. It’s one of the final preseason games before the MLS season begins next Saturday, Feb. 22. Best of all, it looks like legendary soccer star Lionel Messi will take the field, according to the Tampa Bay Sports Commission.
Tampa Bay Collard Green Festival
The annual festival takes over the street outside the Woodson African American Museum of Florida with dozens of vendors, a live concert, book fair, collard green cookoff, mental health conversations, and even live workout classes.
Rays Fan Fest
Yes, DJ Kitty will be in attendance. This year’s annual fan fest takes over the St. Pete Pier due to the stadium’s hurricane damage. Come out tomorrow, Feb. 15 to get autographs from your favorite players, take a hands-on catch-and-release fishing workshop, shop the Bargain Beach section benefiting the Rays Baseball Foundation, and take a tiki boat ride with the Rays.
