One more St Patrick's Day event in Tampa:

The River O' Green Fest at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in downtown Tampa has been rescheduled to Friday from 4-10 p.m., due to potential inclement weather on Saturday.

It includes dying the Hillsborough River green to commemorate the holiday at 4 pm.

The festival will include children's activities, a pet costume contest, and food trucks, along with beer for the adults.

Thanks so much for this Sunshine Rules! It’s giving me a feel for what I can expect when I get there. Where I am now there isn’t much happened that’s one of the many reasons that I want to relocate.
