This way I can share more details about the events I pick, plus some other events that you don't want to miss out on. So here we go!

First things first, be sure to watch January's FunSized Five video!

Every Saturday and Sunday, during their 2 hour cruise, enjoy their buffet which is filled with all your brunch favorites along with complimentary coffee and tea. You'll get to enjoy live music while you take in the sights around Tampa Bay. Get more information and tickets on their website. 

January 13th is the start of John's Pass Annual Seafood Festival. This will be the 41st year for this 3-day festival.

Did you know that Gasparilla started at the Henry Plant Museum when it was a hotel? Well, to honor that, starting on Friday, January 20th, a new exhibition will be opening at the Henry B Plant Museum, called "Gasparilla: A Tampa Tradition" and it will run until March 5th. This exhibit will take you on a journey within Tampa's oldest festival, through memorabilia, costumes, photographs and more you'll learn about the history of Gasparilla and all that it represents. You can find out more about the exhibit, here.

A few things to share with you, that are happening on January 22nd.


First, is the Festivals of Speed, this high-end, luxury car show is coming to Vinoy Park in St Pete. There will be over 250 exotic, classic, and muscle cars, plus motorcycles & luxury brands. On this day they will also be celebrating 60 years of Lamborghini and McLaren along with 75 years of Porsche and Ferrari!

Second, is the start of Westshore Marina District's Sunday Market! It will take place on the 4th Sunday of each month from 11am to 3pm. There will be over 70 local vendors with plants, produce, art, jewelry, clothing and more! Plus live music will start at 11am. For more information, check out the Facebook event page.  

And lastly is Gasparilla Weekend! This will be my first time being in Tampa for Gasparilla so I am very excited and yet don't know what exactly to expect, so I thought that the Gasparilla Invasion Cruise that the Pirate Water Taxi is putting on January 28th, is a great way to be a part of the action! For an hour and thirty minutes be on the water, where you'll get complimentary beer, wine, soda and water along with Cuban sandwiches all while the invasion takes place. Get your tickets here. 

Well there you have it for January's Events around Tampa Bay! As more events and activities come into my radar, I will be sure to update the list as the month progresses.
