This week, we honor the fathers, grandfathers, mentors, and father figures who help shape our families and neighborhoods. Father’s Day is a chance to recognize the impact they make every day and create lasting memories with the people who matter most.
We’re also celebrating Juneteenth, a day that commemorates freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of opportunity and equality. Across Tampa Bay, communities will come together through festivals, educational events, live entertainment, and cultural celebrations that highlight the rich history and contributions of African Americans.
