The greenspace off Ashley Drive in downtown Tampa was once known as “Trip Park” and has since come a long way since reopening as Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in 2010. The park’s reinvention brought with it a then-fledgling, free, outdoor concert series that has since become a staple for life in a downtown that’s emerging faster than ever these days.

For its 13th anniversary in August, Rock The Park assembled a characteristically-eclectic trio of acts playing ambient-electro (Alien House), rock and roll (Witch Hiatus, pictured) and a special brand of songwriter soul/R&B (Tone I.E.).

Jam Dish, per usual, will sling some of the city’s best Jamaican food, and the event is family-and-pet-friendly. Get a sitter for afterwards, however, if you plan to hit up the official Rock The Park anniversary after-party happening with DJ Deacon at The Hub, just a couple blocks away.

There’s no cover for Rock The Park’s 13th Anniversary next Thursday, Aug. 3 at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in Tampa.
