Tampa Riverwalk Halloween Boat Parade
The National Pediatric Cancer Foundation and Friends of the Riverwalk have partnered together to bring you the first Halloween Boat Parade! Boats decorated in lights and decorations will be parading over the Tampa Bay area.
You can either register your boat to join them on the water or view everything on land. Once you register you’ll automatically be put into the “Compete for the best Boat” competition. The best part is that all proceeds raised from this event will go towards NPCF to raise awareness and funds to find a cure for pediatric cancer.

Staff Pick of the Week – Stefanie
Bucs Home Game
I had the opportunity to attend the first Bucs home game with fans, and the experience was incredible. Theyβve outdone themselves with making sure everyone practiced social distancing. There were arrows on the ground, zip tie on seats around yours to make sure no one sat near you, and they enforced wearing a face mask at all times (unless youβre actively eating and drinking, of course).Β
I not only felt safe, but I loved the feeling of not being so close to people that I could feel their sweat. If you can make it out to a game this season, I highly recommend it, and in the meantime, check out one of these local sports bars to catch a game at.
