When summer arrives in Tampa, the city’s event calendar fills quickly with live music, food festivals, ballgames, and summer celebrations. It’s the time of year when locals and visitors alike head out for evenings at the ballpark, outdoor festivals, and concerts under the stars. With packed parking lots and heavy post-event traffic, many are choosing to book private transportation for their summer plans. Walsh Chauffeured Transportation offers a range of summer event options, including limousines, luxury sedans, SUVs, executive vans, and party buses, making it easier to get to your favorite events without worrying about parking or navigating crowds.
One of Tampa’s signature summer attractions is Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s Summer Nights, running select nights through the season. The park stays open late with special live entertainment, thrill rides in the dark, and fireworks lighting up the sky. It’s a popular evening out for families and groups, and a private SUV or executive van is a smart option for getting your group there and back without the usual parking search at a busy theme park.
One of the sweetest stops this summer is the Tampa Bay Ice Cream Festival, scheduled for July 20 at St. Pete Pier. Local creameries and dessert vendors gather to serve scoops, sundaes, and frozen treats against the scenic backdrop of Tampa Bay. This popular event draws crowds eager to sample new flavors and enjoy waterfront views. Opting for a limousine, luxury sedan, or SUV through Walsh Chauffeured Transportation makes traveling to and from St. Pete even more enjoyable.
Baseball fans will find plenty to cheer about with the Tampa Bay Rays home schedule in full swing at Steinbrenner Field. Whether it’s a weekday afternoon game or a weekend series against a division rival, a limousine or party bus is the perfect way to bring friends together for a ballgame without worrying about parking or post-game traffic.
Pop culture fans should mark their calendars for Tampa Bay Comic Convention, running August 1–3 at the Tampa Convention Center. Expect celebrity panels, cosplay contests, gaming tournaments, and a vendor floor packed with collectibles and comics. A private SUV or van is a great way to transport costumes and props while keeping your group together throughout the day.
Beer lovers will want to plan for Bolts Brew Fest on August 1 at Amalie Arena, where dozens of breweries gather for an evening of craft beer samples, live music, and arena tours. It’s one of the city’s best summer events for craft brew fans, and a smart night to leave the driving to a professional.
Tampa’s concert scene also heats up this summer with national tours rolling through local venues. At the Mid-Florida Credit Union Amphitheatre, catch Toto + Men At Work + Christopher Cross on July 19, Kesha and Scissor Sisters on August 10, and blink-182 on August 29. Outdoor shows are always easier to manage when you have private transportation arranged, especially with pre-show tailgates or after-parties planned.
Amalie Arena offers a solid lineup too, including Keyshia Cole on July 19, Stevie Nicks on August 20, and Katy Perry on August 22. With packed parking garages and busy traffic around the arena, reserving a limousine, luxury sedan, or party bus makes concert nights more enjoyable from start to finish.
Whatever your plans this summer, using a professional car service in Tampa through Walsh Chauffeured Transportation is a simple way to make the most of the season. From concerts and baseball games to ice cream festivals and brew fests, let someone else handle the driving while you focus on the event.
