This weekend will definitely be a fun one! There are so many things to do in Tampa that will get you in the mood for Fall (and cooler weather, pretty please!). Of course, Oktoberfest events are gracing the bay with bubbly brews, but we wanted to keep ya'll up to date with all the other fun Tampa events going on. 

There are several awesome family-friendly times to be had with the crew, including a fall festival and ZooTampa's Halloween spookfest. And for you party peeps out there, don't miss a Thursday throwback jam fest at GenX Tavern and Keith Urban at the Hard Rock.
