If you drive through Tampa Heights and its surrounding neighborhoods, you’ll definitely see the eye candy that previous Fresh Fests have left on the walls of various buildings and businesses. Fresh Fest is back to beautify the bare walls of Tampa, in its own unique way, this time at Seminole Heights' Southern Brewing and Winemaking and Robertson's Billiards.

The festivities are free to attend, and you can stroll up at any time during this week-long festival, see the muralists at work, and maybe even catch them for a quick conversation. Over 50 Tampa-based artists are participating this year, and Fresh Fest’s website has info on them.

Tampa Bay Fresh Fest. Mon.-Sun. Feb. 10-Feb. 16. Free. Various locations throughout Tampa Heights. tampabayfreshfest.com
