The Gasparilla Festival of the Arts is a visual feast, but there’s a musical element, too. Over the weekend, everyone’s favorite weatherman Denis Phillips plays MC when bands from across the country take over two stages.

Highlights at the no-cover shows include ukulele-player Mandy Harvey who wowed judges on Season 12 of “America’s Got Talent” (Simon Cowell gave the songwriter, who went deaf at age 18, a golden buzzer), Tampa jazz outfit Katara, St. Pete rock and roll trio Johnny Mile and the Kilometers, Americana collective Ashley Smith and the Random Occurrence, plus more.

Downtown Tampa’s Gasparilla Festival of the Arts is free-to-attend and happens Saturday-Sunday, March 4-5 at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park.
