She’s the chief of fun responsible for turning downtown Tampa into an entertainment hub. Meet Ivy Lupco, the manager of public space, placemaking & programming at Tampa Downtown Partnership. On this episode of Unlocking Tampa Bay, we discuss how downtown has transformed from ghost town to boom town after business hours and Ivy’s role in activating this surge of activities in downtown after dark. We also take listeners behind-the-scenes of Winter Village at Curtis Hixon Park, one of Tampa Bay’s favorite holiday happenings, where we learn how this event has grown over the years, what the falling snow is made of, and how they’re able to maintain an ice rink for over a month under the Florida sun (spoiler alert: warm temps aren’t the ice’s biggest enemy).
🌟 Highlights of this Episode:
- Downtown Tampa is buzzing with fun activities for all.
- Winter Village is back and better than ever with rotating vendors, falling snow, an ice rink, curling, delicious drinks and treats, special surprises throughout the month-long event, and more!
