Water Street Tampa is ringing in the holidays with a new neighborhood-wide holiday celebration, plus events all season long.

The first ever Season Spectacular will transform Water Street in downtown Tampa into a family-friendly holiday destination, full of festive decor, events, treats and more, kicking off a new neighborhood tradition.

The Season Spectacular happens Friday, Nov. 18 from 6 p.m.-9 p.m. on Water Street. Families can enjoy plenty of Santa and holiday-themed photo-ops, a silent disco, live music, seasonal cocktails and treats and, of course, tons of festive decorations.

Directly afterwards, guests can head over to Sparkman Wharf to enjoy the annual Winter Wonder Wharf event and 30-foot Christmas tree lighting.

The new event will help launch a season of Water Street festivities, including Sparkman Wharf’s holiday remix singalong Dec. 3, a Holiday Promenade open-air market Dec. 8, a comedy show Dec. 10 and more.

A portion of the Season Spectacular food and beverage proceeds will be donated to the Tampa Bay Lightning Foundation as a part of its Bolts Giving Campaign, which benefits Feeding Tampa
Bay and Metropolitan Ministries.
