From Million Dollar Cars and RVs to 3 Foot Tall Pirates, Here's Some Featured Events Happening This Weekend in Tampa

Hey folks, are you ready for an action-packed weekend in Tampa Bay? 'Cause I sure am!

First up on Saturday morning, we've got the Rides by the River car show at Armature Works. I'm talking about hundreds of collector cars, hot rods, imports, and exotics on display. Plus, local dealers and automotive vendors showing off their latest and greatest. It's gonna be a car lover's paradise, folks.

Also on Saturday, we've got the "Give a Hug; Get a Hug" event in Safety Harbor. Sure, you might think you know how to hug, but let me tell you, most of us are doing it all wrong. So, come on down, learn the proper technique and let's spread some love and positivity.

Saturday also brings us the Children's Gasparilla, an alcohol-free, family-friendly event that invites pirates of all ages to witness a series of expertly designed parade floats, krewes, marching bands, dance units and more. It's a full day of fun that starts with a Bicycle & Pedestrian Safety Rodeo and a Preschoolers’ Stroll, so bring the little ones, it's gonna be a blast.

Later on Saturday, we're gonna celebrate the Lunar New Year at Armature Works with Zukku Sushi. Authentic cultural performances, Lion Dance, Taiko Drums, it's gonna be a cultural feast for the senses.

And let's not forget about the Florida RV SuperShow! This event is a must-see for all RV and travel enthusiasts, whether you're an experienced RVer or just getting started. The SuperShow offers a variety of educational seminars, daily entertainment, trams to help you navigate the show, and the latest innovative RV products and accessories. With two booth exhibit halls full of parts and accessories, campgrounds and resorts, tourism information, towing supplies, and more, you'll find everything you need to plan your next adventure. Plus, you'll find all types of RVs, from small travel trailers to bus-conversion luxury motorhomes. And as a special treat, seniors, first responders, and military (active and retired) can get $2 off per person every day of the show. So, don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind event, folks!

Also on Saturday, historian and author Robert Jacob will lead a discussion on pirate history and mythology, including the legend of Jose Gaspar, at the Tampa Bay History Center. It's gonna be a history lesson like you've never had before.

And for those who are looking for something on the more unconventional side of things, on Saturday night, Unholy Comedy Show will take place at Ashbriar Abbey in Lutz. It's an immersive night of stand-up comedy, audience tarot readings, music, oddities, and more. It's gonna be a wild ride, folks, so buckle up!

And last but not least, on Sunday, we've got the all new Sunday Morning Market at Westshore Marina District. Over 70 local vendors selling plants, produce, take home foods, baked goods, and more, plus live music. It's the perfect way to end the weekend on a high note.

So, don't miss out on all the fun, folks. See you in Tampa Bay this weekend!
