OK, so this one’s technically not a live music concert (no offense, DJ Don P), but it is a chance for denizens of the Tampa Bay concert scene to get back in the courtyard at Jannus Live for a kid-friendly art festival with free swag (art canvases to the first 200 kiddos) and several stations for kids to watch live mural painting (and then do some of their own). And yes, there’ll be face painting.

A press release says, Jannus Live will encourage masks and social distancing will be strongly encouraged. “We will have hand-sanitizer on hand and we will monitor the traffic flow throughout the day at the main gate. If at any point the event starts to get congested, we will regulate the traffic flow entering into the courtyard,” the release adds. “We’re excited to host this event in a safe and responsible way!”

That Art Festival w/DJ Don P. Sun. Nov. 8, x p.m. Jannus Live, St. Petersburg. INFO

Tampa Bay venues and promoters need you to bug Marco Rubio about saving the live music scene.
