WE LOVE OUR READERS!

And are love this community. Since 1988, Creative Loafing has been Tampa Bay's free, independent voice and we want to keep it that way—so in 2026 a group of employees joined two new partners to buy the paper and make it locally-owned for the first time since 2009.

We want to expand our coverage of local news, food, nightlife, events, and culture with no paywalls through our new Tampa Bay Journalism Project initiative.

Pitch in today because you love this community, too.
