What’s Doing?
Step back in time and experience life before cars, when people rode the streetcar. Streetcar Holiday Connections offers a one-of-a-kind glimpse of holiday cheer throughout Ybor City, Channel District and Downtown Tampa for just 25-cent per ride, courtesy of Centro Ybor.
Activities will take place along the streetcar line, including:
— Santa’s arrival in Ybor City: Santa will be making appearances in the morning at Centro Ybor and Centennial Park
— Centro Ybor’s Entertainment Stage
— Art in the Park and Entertainment Stage at Centennial Park
— Ybor Art Association’s Deck the Walls (art exhibits can be viewed at many locations along the streetcar line)
— Behind-the-scenes tours at Stageworks Theatre.
Families can also take advantage of special offers and discounts offered by shops and restaurants located along the streetcar line, including:
— $5 off at The Florida Aquarium
— FREE child’s admission with the purchase of an adult admission at Glazer Children’s Museum
— $2 off general admission at Tampa Bay History Center
(NOTE: Some special offers require presenting a Streetcar Holiday Connections brochure, which can found at www.tecolinestreetcar.org and will be available at all streetcar stations on the day of the event.)
Even Better! Be sure to visit the streetcar information table at Centro Ybor to receive tickets for a FREE kid’s meal at Gametime! But this is only while supplies last, so get there early.
