May through September are the warmest months, when plenty of swimming and relaxing in the sun is on top of the agenda.

Of course, you can always return to your Tampa vacation rental for an afternoon siesta or to top up your sunscreen.

If you do not manage to catch this market during your stay, there several weekly markets, including Corey Fresh Market on Sundays and Ybor Saturday City Market, amongst many more.
