About this adventure
Opening Thanksgiving weekend along the Tampa Riverwalk, the Winter Village transforms Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park into a sparkling holiday destination. The centerpiece is Tampa's only outdoor real-ice skating rink set right on the riverfront against the downtown skyline. Families can browse 10 local holiday boutiques housed in charming wooden chalets, ride the festive Winter Village Express TECO Streetcar featuring cookies and caroling, and sip iced or hot holiday drinks under palm trees wrapped in fairy lights. The entire park is paved, flat, and stroller-accessible.
