City of Tampa Special Events

The City of Tampa's Office of Special Events handles permits and bookings for events held on public property across the city, from runs and parades to block parties and festivals. Its calendar includes Gasparilla and its parades, the Gasparilla Festival of the Arts, Santa Fest, River O'Green Fest, Winter Village, and the Hyde Park tree lighting. It is the place to check for large citywide celebrations and the street closures that come with them.
