Hi Linda:
The Friends of the Riverwalk has been working with the City of Tampa and Tampa Convention Center to name but a few to stage “The Tampa Riverwalk’s FreedomFest 2009”, an inaugural annual celebration to be held on Memorial Day weekend (May 23-25, 2009). FreedomFest is a free, patriotic celebration in downtown Tampa utilizing the Riverwalk and contiguous parks property from USF Park to the Tampa Bay History Center, with entertainment stages located at the Tampa Convention Center and the west end of Cotanchobee Park.

FreedomFest 2009 will be a three-day celebration featuring live music, food, summer fun, strolling entertainment and patriotic family activities as we gather along the river to celebrate the return of summer.

FreedomFest will conclude with a solemn celebration in Heroes Park on Memorial Day, as we pause to honor and salute those who currently serve and remember those who have served and sacrificed protecting our nation’s freedom.

As one part of a planned series of Riverwalk events, “Friends” events mission is to build a stronger sense of community by activating the waterfront for use by citizens and visitors in a way that combines entertaining, seasonal celebrations with a unique destination rich in history and culture.

We will begin to post information shortly on our website so stay tuned to http://www.thetampariverwalk.com/ where you can find a variety of interesting information about FreedomFest, the Riverwalk’s progress, other events and downtown life.

Be there, it will be a blast!
Alex

If it involves pro sports teams, country music, and deep fried foods, you'll get a large crowd. You've got to stick with what works here. It's a no brainer. It's all about counting heads, right?
