Photos from Rock The Park Tampa in Curtis Hixon Park

Rain lingered in the distance near Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park on Thursday. It finally arrived for Kristopher James’ headlining, full-band set — which turned into an acoustic duo set underneath the Tampa Museum of Art awning — but the June edition of the Tampa Downtown Partnership’s Rock the Park concert series was still a blast thanks to a sumptuous set from Garden Club and an easygoing opening performance from Claire Vandiver.
