Faith, fitness and a downtown full of traffic.
Plan ahead Tampa, it's going to be a very busy weekend with several major events including the Hyrox competition and a Joyce Meyer conference, drawing crowds reaching into the tens of thousands Thursday, Friday, and through the weekend.
Heavier traffic and lots of pedestrians are expected.
This weekend's events include, but aren't limited to:
Thursday, October 22
Friday, October 23
Saturday, October 24
Sunday, October 25
NEW: As of October 20th, a new traffic pattern is in place on E. Brorein and S. Tampa Streets. The new pattern converts the leftmost lane of E. Brorein St. to two-way traffic, so drivers on S. Tampa St. can still reach S. Franklin St. This is needed for construction on the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority's (THEA) South Selmon Capacity Project.
