Tampa ranks higher for its volume of big events

Tampa is the 32nd best city in America to celebrate New Year’s Eve. We’ll take a top 50 slot in this category, brimming with competition as high praise.

We are the only city where you can see DJ Diesel, aka Shaq, performing while fireworks go off on the waterfront. See the whole story and event details here.

Tampa should be ranked even higher on this list for that fact alone.  

Rooftop soirees and fireworks cruises around Tampa

You can also enjoy splashy experiences at Sal Y Mar Rooftop Bar, the Tampa EDITION, and multiple other venues in Water Street.
