Green Book of Tampa Bay hosts a ”Midsummer Night’s Dream’ brunch to celebrate its fourth anniversary

In an homage to Victor Hugo Green’s famed travel guide, Green Book Tampa Bay founders Hillary Van Dyke and Josh Bean have spent the last four years doing everything they can to support and shine a light on local Black-owned businesses by listing them in a huge online directory and sending regular newsletters about the best Black-centric happenings in Tampa Bay.

To celebrate another year of the Green Book, Van Dyke and Bean have teamed up with St. Petersburg’s Studio@620—a Black-owned business whose work is set to be archived in perpetuity as part of a big University of South Florida project—to throw a brunch party where guests are invited to dress up in their “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” cosplay.

Tickets to Green Book of Tampa Bay’s fourth anniversary brunch happening on Sunday, March 12 inside Studio@620 in St. Petersburg are available now and start at $50. Brunch, two mimosas and sweets are included in the ticket prices.
