Friday is National Pickle Day, apparently, and Grillo’s Pickles is picking up the bill for a full-on celebration at the Skatepark of Tampa. It’s free to skate starting at 2 p.m. (pros from North and Central America will be on hand), and a slate of nightlife kicks off at 6 p.m.
Recently reunited Florida hardcore giant Kids Like Us tops the bill alongside another reformed favorite (New Jersey’s The Mongoloids) and New York veterans Orange 9mm which just released its first song in two-and-a-half decades (“Turn It Up”) over the summer.
Pitch in to help make the Tampa Bay Journalism Project a success.
