This Saturday, August 13th is 813 Day (8/13 Day...get it)! 813 is the area code for Tampa/Hillsborough County, and there are lots of fun things to do this week/weekend to celebrate where we live! (I grew up in Sarasota, and when I was a kid, the area code down there was still 813. I remember getting so mad when the Sarasota/Bradenton area switched to 941)
Sparkman Wharf has teamed up with Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful for a series of events this week:
1) Take a photo in front of the "Tampa" sign downtown. For every photo that Sparkman Wharf is tagged in, they'll donate $5 to Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful!
2) Sparkman Wharf will also host a Tampa-themed trivia night on Tuesday, Aug. 9. Splitsville will offer bowling specials throughout the week leading up to National Bowling Day, which is also on Aug. 13.
3) On August 13th, there will be live music at Sparkman Wharf from 3pm to 10pm
4) A variety of $8.13 specials from various Sparkman Wharf retailers.
5) Starting at 8:13 p.m., the first 50 people to visit Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams will receive one complimentary ice cream scoop and the first 20 people to visit JoToro Kitchen & Tequila Bar will receive a complimentary Mi Casa Margarita.
6) LightHaus Beer Garden will be featuring local beers on tap and an $8.13 special on pizza rolls.
