There will also be live music, lots of crafts, and a plant show and a farmers market where you can pick up some fresh produce. The hours for the festival are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
Now at one of my most favorite attractions, Lowry Park Zoo, located at 1101 W. Sligh Ave. in Tampa, on Sunday, May 2nd from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., admission will be only $2.00 per person! What a deal and what a way to spend the day at this 40 plus acre world famous zoo. Make plans to stop by and visit the wild life, including the Florida panther, monkeys, wolves, bears, flamingos and Florida manatees!
Saturday and Sunday also has the Tarpon Springs Sponge Festival scheduled which includes the SpongeBob parade, carnival and soapbox derby races. There will also be a huge arts and crafts festival with over 100 vendors, music and plants. Free admission.
