Ariana Grande at Amalie Arena
    May 28
    By the time she gets here, it'll have been four long years since Ariana Grande was in Tampa. That won't make the 25-year-old's May 28 date with the Bay area any less sweet, however. The dangerous woman will kick off a three-show run through Florida at Amalie Arena before concerts in Orlando (May 29 at Amway Center) and Miami (May 31 at American Airlines Arena).

Grab a cold beer on the Tampa Riverwalk
    Tampa’s latest downtown attraction is, well, pretty much the coolest part of downtown. From the Channelside District up along the east side of the Hillsborough River to Tampa Heights and the very hip restaurants and event spaces of the old Armitage Works building, this pedestrian thoroughfare ties together everything from public art and retail to parks, culture and dining. Park the car and get culture all around downtown (The Straz! The Tampa Museum of Art! The library!) on foot, rental bike or water taxi, popping in here or there to cool off. It’s a day well spent.
