It’s almost time for Boom by the Bay, an annual event in the city of Tampa on the 4th of July. Armature Works is already gearing up for the festivities (now only one month away). The Tampa Heights hub for food and fun will be one of four locations participating in Boom by the Bay this year. Tampa Heights visitors will have a lot to enjoy this year.

Boom by the Bay Powered by Tampa Electric is back on Monday, July 4, 2022. There will be 3 firework viewing areas, including the BIGGEST firework show yet along Bayshore Boulevard.

Attendees can also enjoy food trucks, live music, a water ski show, family-friendly activities and more along Tampa’s downtown waterfront. You can find even more details about the Independence Day festivities online.

Armature Works has just announced that on July 4th they will have a stage set up along the Riverwalk for an evening of live music. In addition to a stage for music, Armature Works will create a Kids Zone, an outdoor art auction, a perfect view for firewalls, and a front row seat to the boat parade.

It wouldn’t be a 4th of July celebration without a hot dog eating contest, of course. That’s right, guests are invited to test their appetite with a hot dog eating contest. Y’all ready to dunk some some buns in water?

Festivities will run from 3pm until 10pm. This is part of a larger celebration happening up and down the Riverwalk on July 4th. Guests should be sure to explore all around the Riverwalk, especially as water ski performers do their thing during the huge boat parade.

Tickets to Tampa Heights 4th of July celebration range from $35-$100 and can be reserved online.
