Leave the uggs and beanies at home because the weather’s back to being gorgeous in Tampa Bay.

That means the best excuse to head back out to Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park on Thursday where downtown Tampa’s free monthly Rock the Park concert series takes one of the local Americana scenes best utility players, Taylor Raynor, a local rock band, Hope Darling, and sandwiches them around Queen of Ex who might have the best live hip-hop set this side of the Hillsborough River.

As always, it’s free to attend and pet friendly. Do yourself a favor and arrive hungry because Jam Dish catering has all the best tings for your belly.

The party starts at 6:30 p.m., and more information is at @rockthepark on Facebook.
