The Tampa Riverwalk’s annual Holiday Spectacular has landed a spot in the running for Best Public Holiday Lights Display in USA Today’s 10Best Reader’s Choice Awards, and it’s time to rally support!
A panel of industry experts, along with USA Today editors and contributors, selected the Riverwalk for its eye-catching displays—think a towering 35-foot Christmas tree, glowing gingerbread house and toy train displays on the water, and twinkling lights draped over the iconic oak trees at Water Works Park. This festive setup transforms the Riverwalk into a holiday wonderland.
