A little history lesson for Tampa’s 139th Birthday! 🎂

Before TCC, our waterfront was a historic outpost called Fort Brooke.

Today, we are a premier destination for meeting planners hosting world-class conventions, conferences, trade shows, & corporate events.

Update: workers were able to add a modified, temporary sidewalk path to allow pedestrians past this work. However, we ask that you continue to use caution as you go through the area.

[Tampa Convention Center @TheTampaCC]

Sidewalk closure: A section of the sidewalk outside the Tampa Convention Center’s Franklin Entrance is closed through June 4. Please use crosswalks and follow the detour across the street.

This allows for safe installation of new artwork.

Thanks for your patience!
