Happy Hump Day! The weekend is almost here, and there's plenty to do in Tampa. So with the weekend right around the corner, here are our Top 10 Things to Do on your impending days off. Check out some of these cool events and have a great weekend!
Gaspar's Rum Tour & Tasting
The Tampa Bay Rum Company was the first distillery in town to make the delicious libation. Take a tour of their facilities, try some of their flagship products and grab a souvenir glass from their gift shop during Gaspar’s Rum Tour and Tasting event. Two of the flagship rums: Gaspar’s Coconut Rum and Gaspar’s Spiced Rum, will be available for tasting. As Jose Gaspar probably said, "when life gives you coconuts, make coconut rum!"
Dave Matthews Band
Dave Matthews Band makes their return to Tampa tonight! You have an opportunity to hear some of your favorites like “Ants Marching”, “Two Step” and “Grey Street” as Dave Matthews and his band serenade you all night long. So crash into Tim Reynolds, Connor Beauford or Dave Matthews himself at their much-anticipated concert at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre. Hate Dave Matthews as much as our Area Director does? Head to Amalie Arena for the Smashing Pumpkins concert!

Friday night just turned into a game! Head to the Epicurean Theatre for a night filled with a murder mystery and craft cocktails!
