On Saturday, June 7th from 6:30–10:30 PM, The Florida Aquarium invites Tampa Bay to celebrate World Ocean Day in spectacular fashion during its highly anticipated World Ocean Day Soirée, presented by The Yerrid Foundation.
The adults-only evening promises an immersive tropical escape blending ocean-inspired elegance, entertainment, and conservation under the stars.
Guests will begin the night with a cocktail hour surrounded by mesmerizing underwater vistas before stepping into a vibrant soirée experience featuring gourmet cuisine, live music by local favorite #NoFilter, interactive animal encounters, and unforgettable waterfront moments throughout the evening.
For those looking to elevate the experience even further, guests can reserve one of the event’s sunset cruise packages and sail into Tampa Bay during golden hour before returning to continue the festivities at the Aquarium.
More than just a celebration, the evening supports The Florida Aquarium’s mission to protect and preserve marine wildlife through conservation, research, rescue, and education initiatives that continue to make a global impact from right here in Tampa Bay.
Since opening in 1995, The Florida Aquarium has become one of the region’s most beloved cultural destinations and a nationally respected leader in marine conservation. Through groundbreaking coral restoration and sea turtle rescue efforts, the organization continues to inspire visitors while actively working to save marine wildlife and ecosystems for future generations.
Whether you’re passionate about conservation, looking for a unique date night, or simply wanting to experience one of Tampa Bay’s most visually stunning events of the summer, the World Ocean Day Soirée offers a memorable evening with purpose.
This event is exclusively for guests 21+.
