This upcoming Monday, April 22 is Earth Day. Beyond our plethora of ways to take in the Tampa Bay area’s natural beauty — with our beaches, springs, and fauna galore — there’s plenty of other ways to celebrate: t

  • Sunset Serenade | Monday, April 22 | Hop on the Sun Runner for a fare-free ride to the Dolphin Beach Resort accompanied by live music from local musicians.
  • Succulent Terrarium Workshop | Wednesday, April 24 | Learn how to keep and maintain a succulent terrarium at Cactus Moon in Tampa’s Seminole Heights neighborhood — it costs $40 and supplies are included.
  • Green Thumb Festival | Saturday, April 27+ Sunday, April 28 | While technically an Arbor Day celebration, this festival is worth checking out for the hundreds of vendors selling everything from orchids and fruit trees to native plants.
