Yay! The weekend is finally here! This week has been a wet one, but don't let the rainy afternoons get you down. We've got a sweet list of the best things to do in Tampa to keep those rainy day blues away! Most of these events are under a roof, but there are a few that might be worth braving the drizzles. For example, a night run meets music festival-- a party on the move! MetroCon will also be at the Tampa Convention Center for all you Anime lovers out there!
There's also some great things to do in Tampa that the kiddos will love! Take them to the Summer Carnival or National Mac n Cheese Day at The Landing (come on, you're never too young to grub out on some good ol' cheesy mac).
Don't worry fellow fun-seeking peeps, you'll have a great weekend if you stick with us! Keep scrolling to decide which one of these awesome things to do in Tampa is your favorite!
