Things to Do in Tampa: Weekend of August 15

Finally…after a long week at work, Friday evening is here. You could retreat home with a tub of your favorite Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, or lounge around in your fuzzy socks, but that’s what Sundays are for. And there is always something to do in Tampa. Here are just a few events going on this weekend.
