Shop Local Tampa Bay.



Hey Tampa fans, do you want to help out your community in a different way by shopping? Here’s an alternative activity you can do. 

On Oct 13, the Tampa Downtown Market opened for the 2013 year in downtown Tampa. The market is only open Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The location is 601 N. Ashley Drive and is directly across from Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park. 

Vendors come to the market and sell their products such as produce, bread, herbs, and various crafts.
How are you helping Tampa by shopping at a market, you say?

The vendors at the market are local, meaning they make and produce their items here in Tampa. By buying local products, you are giving back to the Tampa community. Eating local food has also health benefits because it was made in Tampa. 

You can also get involved by volunteering at the market by getting in contact with the Tampa Downtown Partnership by calling (813) 221-3686
