Water Street Tampa presents the return of the Gasparilla Music Festival (April 10-12, 2026), back for its highly anticipated 14th edition at a brand-new downtown venue. Taking place at Meridian Fields, this three-day, all-ages festival brings together 40+ bands across multiple stages — spanning indie, rock, electronic, hip-hop, Americana, and more — along with local food and vendors, and Tampa's vibrant creative community for an unforgettable weekend.
Produced by the nonprofit Gasparilla Music Foundation, GMF isn't just about great music—it's about giving back. Proceeds from the festival benefit Recycled Tunes, an initiative that provides musical instruments and support to youth music education programs across Tampa Bay, while also uplifting local professional musicians.
The 11.5-acre waterfront venue places the festival in the heart of Water Street Tampa, creating an exciting new chapter for one of the region's most beloved music events. The 2026 artist lineup will be announced in January, with past headliners including Young the Giant, Run the Jewels, Black Pumas, Portugal. The Man, and more.
In addition to live performances, guests can enjoy a curated selection of local vendors, food and drink offerings, and immersive festival experiences that showcase the best of Tampa Bay. Volunteer opportunities, vendor applications, and sponsorship options are now available.
