Bike and pop music fans, we have some good News 4 U.

Los Angeles soul-pop band Fitz and the Tantrums is headed back to downtown Tampa this winter, as headliner of the 13th annual OnBikes Winter Wonder Ride.

The party, set for next month at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, is part of a full day featuring a seven-mile bicycle ride through downtown, plus up and down Bayshore Boulevard. Proceeds from the even support nonprofit OnBikes’ ongoing mission to provide new bicycles and helmets to underprivileged kids on the Bay area. onBikes founder Julius Tobin told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that since its inception, OnBikes has distributed over 18,000 sets of wheels to kids in need.

Tickets to see Fitz and the Tantrums play onBikes’ Winter Wonder Ride at Tampa’s Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park on Saturday, Dec. 14 are on sale now and start at $40.
Past headliners at the Winter Wonder Ride include LoCash, Big Boi, CeeLo, Mix Master Mike, and more. Fitz and the Tantrums is no stranger to The Curt either, and played an NHL All-Star Game celebration there in 2018.

The theme for Tampa’s 2024 Winter Wonder Ride is “Après Ski After Party.” “Attendees are encouraged to embrace the cozy, festive style of unwinding after a day on the slopes, donning ski lodge chic attire such as puffy jackets, vintage ski suits, cozy scarves, fur-lined hats, and bold, retro goggles,” the release added.
