Ferg’s Live has long been a home of celebration in the city of Tampa. Whether reveling after a Lightning win, or enjoying a brew and local live music before a major concert at Amalie, Ferg’s is one of our finest community gathering places in the city.
On Thursday, August 17, from 6-10pm, Markets for Makers brings you their first night market in Channelside with 50+ vendors. The future of the Channelside District, and the forthcoming Water Street project paints an exciting picture of the area’s future, but that isn’t to say there isn’t much to celebrate at present.

Eat, drink and shop local under the stars
Visitors will enjoy live music, craft beer, a full bar and menu at Ferg’s Live while shopping local and supporting Tampa Bay entrepreneurs and makers. Those interested in becoming vendors at the Market can apply online.
Following the Ferg’s Live event, Markets for Makers will bring their concept to Ybor City on September 14. An official address will be announced at a later date.
Markets for Makers is behind a few other recurring market concepts in the Tampa Bay region: Pierce Street Market and Uptown Market at Armature Works.
