July Events around Tampa Bay!

It’s America’s Birthday month, so there are plenty of fun events and festivities happening around Tampa Bay this month!

First things first, be sure to watch my July FunSized Five video here.
There is absolutely no time to waste so on July 1st head on over to Armature Works for their Tampa’s Backyard BBQ. From 12pm to 5pm, there will be hot dogs, burgers and oysters on the pier near Stones Throw along with live music for you to enjoy on the Riverwalk. 

Now here’s what you should know about July 4th:


Star Spangled Sparkman will start at Sparkman Wharf at 4pm. There’ll be family-friendly activities along with live entertainment, a game zone, plenty of entertainment, food and beverage specials and more.


Then at 6pm, the Water Ski Show begins and you will only be able to see this from Sparkman Wharf. This will also be when the Boat Parade begins and I would recommend looking at the map on this site, to decide where you’d like to watch the parade from. 

At 9:15pm is when the fireworks show will begin at Sparkman Wharf. 


Another option is also the American Victory Ship’s Freedom Fest party! The ship will remain docked for the entirety of the evening but you’ll get a front row seat to the fireworks and boat parade along with refreshments, food trucks, a live DJ and so much more. 


Lastly, the Heights District 4th of July Celebration at Armature Works will have a large-scale riverfront concert, a fireworks display, hot dog eating contest and so much more. All of the fun will be starting at 3pm.


Now back to the rest of July's events

July 15th & 16th is Sharkcon at the Florida State Fairgrounds. Sharkcon is an an event dedicated to raising awareness about sharks and  ocean conservation, as well as sustainability. This year’s Sharkcon will be filled with activities, exhibits, speakers, and shark-lebrities!

Now this is a cool event, the Tampa Bay Ice Cream Festival, July 17th at St Pete Pier. Enjoy ice cream & other frozen treats from over a dozen vendors. You’ll even get to vote to see who will win the first ever best ice cream in Tampa Bay award. 



National Tequila Day is July 24th so why not celebrate with a Tacos and Tequila Tasting at Centro Asturiano de Tampa. For 2 hours you’ll get to enjoy a Casamigos tequila tasting along with Los Chapos tacos.

On the 29th head to the Tampa Theatre for Beerfest 2023, for the past 13 years the Tampa Theatre has had this fundraiser to raise funds for their majestic theater and this year the theme is Beerassic Park! It will be an evening of craft beers and local brewers, plus snacks and samples from some of the city’s top independent restaurants. Guests are invited to dress as their favorite Jurassic Park character, or come in a costume inspired by the movie.

As more events and activities come onto my radar, I will be sure to update the list as the month progresses.

Everybody Needs to be Compensated Properly, Equitably, & Above Board

image from @evanrosskatz instagram Amanda Seyfried said it best “Everybody needs to be compensated for their work. That’s f*cking easy.” She said this in reference to the recent WGA strikes happening in Hollywood. However, I would like to take her quote and apply it to what I’ve noticed the issues are with how the entertainment industry is ran here in Florida.   After working in the entertainment industry for over 10 years in New York City, I expected some things to be handled differently in Florida but not to the extent that I have witnessed. The biggest issue here is that people are, simply, not compensated for their work.   Let’s start off with, how Florida does not see the value in models. Business owners believe that if they provide you with a free item from, let’s say their restaurant, so a cocktail, that’s enough compensation to use your likeness and image in perpetuity on all mediums and formats. This is so wrong. Modeling is a profession and it should be treated as such.   Sin
