Tampa Senior Bacchanal 2026

The Tampa Senior Bacchanal returns to The Skills Center on Saturday, October 17, from 10 AM to 2 PM. It's now in its second annual edition, a Caribbean-inspired celebration built for Tampa Bay seniors aged 55 and over. The whole afternoon is an in-person gathering that runs on music, dance, food, games, giveaways and social engagement, and it's free for seniors 55+.

If you've been to one of these before, you know the drill: the music and dancing set the pace, and the food and games fill in the gaps. It's the kind of thing that keeps moving, with the giveaways and social side of it keeping the energy up. It's an afternoon meant for hanging out with other seniors in the city, and since it's built around Caribbean vibes, it's more of a party than a quiet get-together.

One thing to keep in mind is that it's an in-person event that requires pre-registration, so you'll want to get your name on the list before you head over. The Skills Center is at 5107 N 22nd Street in East Tampa, and the celebration runs from 10 AM to 2 PM on Saturday, October 17. Admission is free for seniors 55 and over.
