In these times, it’s best to buy your holiday gifts while you still have money. There’s a party for that happening this weekend on two blocks in Seminole Heights.

The Far Forest, Disco Dolls Studio, Tiger Dust store and oddities shop, plus Royal Suzie, Sea Maids Creamery, Lucky Cat Yoga, and Florida Avenue Brewing Co. will all be extra merry (but still Floridian) in this just-past-halfway to Christmas celebration.

DIY ornaments stations, holiday photo booths, themed libations, and more are in store.

This is an event you can get to without a care by utilizing Tampa’s no-fare Route 1 bus.

There’s no cover for Christmas In July happening on the 4200-4300 blocks of N Florida Avenue in Tampa on Saturday, July 19.
