What’s more, this year’s edition of Halfway There is scheduled to take place at Armature Works, the renovated Tampa Heights building that houses Heights Public Market, a restaurant and multiple event spaces. New highlights are planned alongside the new festival location, too, including retro games from local arcade and beer tavern Lowry Parcade and Commune + Co. coffee samples.
Admission to the fest is $35 in advance, while day-of entry costs $50. Attendees receive a commemorative tasting glass with their tickets, which are available for purchase online. On-site parking is also a few bucks — not to mention limited — but that $5 ticket can be used as a food voucher throughout Heights Public Market.
Halfway There serves as the major fundraiser for the nonprofit TBBW, hosted every year in March.
