The views and people-watching on the Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park lawn have evolved a whole heck of a lot over the last 14 years, and as Tampa changes around it, downtown’s long-running no-cover concert series has continued to always look forward by booking the best up-and-coming bands from across the Bay area.

To celebrate its anniversary, Rock the Park Tampa welcomes Jay Browne whose 2019 album 1-800-813-4evr served not just as intro to his sharp lyricism, but as a personal mantra for the Tampa rapper who continues to make a name for himself and collaborators in the scene.

Plant City purveyor of punchy indie-rock Hollowhouse brings a 2024 single, “Hold My Beer” to the family-and-pet-friendly party, along with St. Pete alt-jazz and pop band Chaunces.
