Rock the Park Tampa is a monthly staple at Curtis Hixon Park. Local bands perform for captivated crowds just along the bustling stretch of the Tampa Riverwalk that connects Tampa Heights and the Water Street neighborhood. Rock the Park of course predates so much for the boom in the city of Tampa.

The monthly live music series has been a part of the city of Tampa for 12 years. The Tampa Downtown Partnership began the free monthly music series as a way to showcase musical talents of all genres in the heart of the city. In January 2022 the series officially returned after going virtual during the pandemic.
