Weekend Planner: Third Friday, Pub Crawl Saturday In Safety Harbor

As we approach the transition from the busy spring events season to the slower summer months, there’s another weekend of fun-filled activities on tap here in Safety Harbor.

Not only is this the week of Third Friday, but there’s a pub crawl/poker run on Saturday night as well.

The  festivities kick off Friday night with the May 2014 edition of the monthly downtown music series.

This month there is a Memorial Day theme, “Home of the Brave,” with music provided by local rock band Stimulus.

On Saturday, the Safety Harbor Chamber of Commerce is hosting the Sip and Suds Pub Crawl Poker Run.

The crawl kicks off at 6 p.m. at the John Wilson Park Gazebo and concludes in the same spot at 10:00.

In between, those who paid $25.00 to participate will hit a dozen downtown bars and restaurants, playing poker hands and enjoying the food and drink provided by those establishments.

“We always look forward to contributing to the growth of downtown Safety Harbor and its community spirit,” Chamber of Commerce executive director Susan Petersen said of the event, which also serves as a fundraiser for the Rotary Club and the Mattie Williams Neighborhood Family Center.

For more information on these events, visit the City of Safety Harbor website and the Safety Harbor Chamber of Commerce website or Facebook page.
