Tampa Bay has a few different ways to spend the weekend. St. Pete's DJs are keeping things going well past eleven, while patios and backyards have music starting in the morning. Jazz takes a few unexpected turns, and country comes with a choice between learning the steps and leaving the music to the band.
Eleven o'clock still leaves you choices. St. Pete's late sets move between house, hip-hop, disco, and open-format DJs, with a near-midnight start at the Farm. For anyone making the late part of the night the actual plan, here's where to go.
Friday
Saturday
The patio has a DJ. The backyard has acoustic covers. From morning sets to evening terrace music, there's enough happening outside to choose the setting first, then decide what you want to hear.
Sunday
Jazz doesn't have to sound one particular way. This weekend, violin, saxophone, guitar, and vocals take it from standards and swing into soul, pop, hip-hop, and bossa nova. Pick the instrument or the crossover that catches your ear.
Country comes with a few decisions this weekend. Learn the steps on the patio in Plant City, catch a full band in St. Pete, or find a solo set with some rock mixed in. You can dance to it or just listen.
Whether you're staying out late, finding a patio, following the jazz, or heading somewhere for country, there's a different kind of weekend waiting in Tampa Bay.
