Summer is upon, and a slew of amazing events are taking place all over the Tampa Bay region. One event huge on my radar is Kickback Fest with the team at Curated Heat. The event will include a live performance by Mariah the Scientist, in addition to multiple bars, bottle service, games (flip cup, beer pong, connect 4), a huge arcade dome, and of course tons of streetwear to shop. This first annual event takes over Tabella’s on the Creek on July 1. You can secure your tickets beginning June 12.

The event begins at 3pm at the multi-acre events menu. A lineup of local food trucks will provide eats and treats to attendees as they shop and game. Curated Heat continues to be one of the top fashion event organizers here in the region. Their ongoing vintage market at Lost & Found in downtown St. Pete remains one of my favorite monthly occurrences.
