Tampa Bay is serving up one of its biggest weekends of the year, with something for just about everyone — whether you're into books, costumes, country, or a cold beer in the sun. Here's a look at what's happening around the bay this weekend.

  • FloridaRAMA's First Literary Festival — St. Pete's immersive art destination is rolling out the welcome mat for 30+ local authors and artists in a free-with-admission afternoon celebration of Florida creativity.
  • Labor Day Weekend Highlights — A two-night rodeo, Comic Con, live music, and a beer fest make this holiday weekend one of the most action-packed of the summer.
  • Free Waterfront Concerts and Big-Name Performers — Catch free waterfront shows or score tickets to see Chance the Rapper, plus college football is back in the mix for the long weekend.
  • Comic Cons, Rodeos, and a Horror Park Opening — The full week's lineup includes fan conventions, a classic rodeo, and the spine-tingling opening night of a local horror attraction.
  • Red Eye Mahjong Club — If you're looking for something a little different, Tampa's fastest-growing social club went from a living room gathering to 40-player events — and they'd love a few new faces at the table.

However you choose to spend the weekend, Tampa Bay has more than enough to keep you busy. Get out there and make the most of it.
