Parties are cool—some of you even love hurricane parties—but nothing is more important than the safety of our readers, partners and the Tampa Bay community.

With all of our eyes on Hurricane Ian and the preparation our community has in front of it, Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s 2022 Best of the Bay party set for Thursday, Sept. 29 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino has been rescheduled.

The new date for the 2022 Creative Loafing Tampa Bay Best of the Bay Party at Hard Rock Event Center is now Thursday, Oct. 6.

All tickets will be honored at the new date, but refunds for anyone who can’t make it are available now via point of purchase.

For now, let’s get ready to, um, be best, and work together to get through this thing. Much love to you all, truly the best readers in Tampa Bay.
