It's almost that time...explosions of fireworks in the night sky, kids twirling around with sparklers, and the smell of fresh BBQ throughout every neighborhood. Independence Day is only a month away, and we want to try something a little different and stray away from the traditional cook out. If you feel the same, then you are in luck! We have consolidated a list of 4th of July events in Tampa which include festivals, parades, and more.

4th of July Fireworks Cruise with Open Bar - This year Yacht Starship will be hosting two exceptional cruises- one out of their home dock in Channelside in Downtown Tampa, and one out of their satellite dock in Clearwater!
