New Year's Eve Tampa Bay - What To Do???

If you are like us 2010 is a strong glimmer of hope on the horizon! 2009 has been tough on so many levels that the thought of a New Year (and new beginning) can't help drive some pent up enthusiasm! As in most cities, there are numerous ways to enjoy New Year's Eve... from hotel packages and concerts to late night fine dining. Or do you simply stay home and watch the revelers in Times Square as the ball falls???

After a review of possibilities around the Tampa Bay area, the venue that continues to impress is First Night St Pete. St Petersburg, with its waterfront downtown area, makes a habit of opening up its streets to live entertainment on the first Friday of each month. Beginning in 1993, the city moved its January First Night to New Year's Eve in order for St. Petersburg to ring in the New Year with music, lights, dance, fire, bubbles, stories, creative fun, fireworks and much more! Their down loadable map shows multiple venues with family oriented festivities to get the year started right. From 5pm to midnight, it makes a perfect area to bring the family, stroll along the waterfront, hear a wide variety of entertainment... and beginning at 9pm enjoy a fireworks display on the hour until the GRANDE FINALE Fireworks Show at Midnight!
