I think Thanksgiving might be my favorite holiday of the year! I am thankful to live in such a great community. I hope that all of you enjoy some time together and get enough to eat. Cheers! & Here’s some stuff going on in and around the Heights!

TURKEY EVE

Ella’s Americana Folk Art Cafe is having their annual Turkey Bowling Extravaganza featuring DJ Belinda & Sam Williams! Bring a can of food & redeem for a can of beer! BTW, no turkeys are harmed in this event, no turkeys go to waste and all of the turkeys are donated… so its a good thang!

Independent Cafe will feature Grass is Grunge with the Between the Bluffs bluegrass band @ 8pm

New World Brewery is still having their @ 6:30pm BBQustic jam featuring One Trip Little

Shuffle is having a Charity Turkey Tourney starting at 6pm. $55 to enter & the winner splits the pot 50/50 with Metropolitan Ministries. 

Crowbar is having a Fried Turkey Friendsgiving featuring a melange of local musicians pulling off a Led Zep tribute concert! Fried Turkey dinner included with $15 cover!

SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY

Angry Chair Brewing is now hosting the Sunday Heights Market (aka West Tampa Market) in their new location at 4101 N Florida Ave. The inaugural event was rained out last Saturday, so they are rescheduling for this Wednesday evening at 4pm! Great place to spend your holiday $$’s locally!

Seminole Heights Holiday Shop Hop 2022 – a number of local storefronts are open for shopping on Saturday from 10am-6pm. Pick up a “bingo card” and have each store you visit check off. Bring the card to Flocale Saturday evening for a great after shop party and win gift baskets and prizes! Check out participants here… https://seminoleheightsliving.com/lifestyle/shop-hop-2022/

GOTT GLASS GLASS BLOWING DEMOS
Gott Glass Phoenix Studio is having their annual sale as a part of the Heights Shop Hop. But what a lot of people don’t know is that they have the coolest glass blowing demonstrations on Friday. They’ll be doing a pretty massive cast demo at 7pm too! Well worth the entertainment and the unique gift opportunities!  : 811 E. Knollwood St.
