Forever the underdog, Ybor City, in so many ways, is the heart and soul of Tampa.

For almost a year now, community members have staged a quarterly event that connects not just business owners and residents who call the historic district home, but also anyone who supports the vibrancy—and independence—of the neighborhood.

For this installment of “There’s Good In Ybor,” organizers have not only booked bands, artists and guest speakers, but tapped their friends at the Indie Noir Market to celebrate Black businesses as part of the get together. Raffle proceeds will benefit the B.I.G. initiative, which supports businesses in the nearby Tampa neighborhood once-described as “The Scrub.”

A $5 suggested donation will be collected at the door for There’s Good In Ybor happening Monday, July 8 at Crowbar.
