Happy Haunting this weekend to all you ghouls and goblins! Registry Tampa Bay has some exciting events lined up for you this and every weekend. Enjoy!
Thursday
**Registry Spotlight Event**
Mega Halloween Neighborhood Stroll in the Old Northeast
Old NE, St. Pete
T
After living in the Old NE for 25 years, I can tell you, with great confidence, that there is no neighborhood like it for Halloween. Elaborate scare-scapes and clever themes can be found on every block, homeowners dress to ‘kill,’ and kids come from far and wide to score their bounty of sweet treats. Take a ride through in the evenings on Thursday and Friday to take it all in. Then come back Saturday for the main event. (Streets are essentially impassable on Halloween, so come early to park). It’s truly the ultimate neighborhood Halloween experience! Check out Share and Scare Ride on Thursday.
Thursday – Saturday, October 29th – 31st

Friday
Oktoberfest Tampa

Anchors & Irons Invitational Golf Tournament & After-Action Social
Cove Bay Golf Course, Clearwater
The Jackson Copeland Foundation (JCF) invites you to the inaugural Anchors & Irons Invitational. Set against the waterfront backdrop of Old Tampa Bay at Cove Cay Golf Club, one of the area’s most breathtaking waterfront par-70 courses. This isn’t just a golf tournament—it’s a unified muster of the Tampa Bay community to support leukemia warriors and honor those who served!
Join us on the eve of Halloween as we bridge the gap between the spirits of the season and the unbreakable spirit of our military leading up to Veteran’s Day!
