NEIGHBORHOOD SOCIAL EVENTS
Would you be interested in a few community social events? If so, let us know. We hosted a popsicle social to kick off the summer break and are considering a "movie in the park" when the weather cools down.
HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES
The entire island takes Halloween to the next level! In the past, we have had an island-wide event with tricker treating for everyone. Grab your costume and enjoy a special evening with spooktacular decorations, lots of treats, and great neighbors.
HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS
The winter holiday season is one of our favorites! Last year, Santa made a special appearance in our neighborhood. We often couple this event with a community toy drive to embrace the giving spirit. Check back here for more details as they become available.
TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING
Amalie Arena is home to the 2020 Stanley Cup Champions (Go Bolts!) and also hosts a number of other events. As we live approximately 3 miles from the arena, it is helpful to know the lightning schedule so you can go cheer on our hometown team or determine which Harbour Island bridge is best for you those days.
