Celebrate Women's History Month in Tampa's Downtown

Women’s History Month (March 1 – March 31) is a time to reflect upon the copious contributions women have made to the betterment of society. From being sisters, friends, mothers, daughters, doctors, lawyers, and so much more, women are integral to the fabric of our communities.

Even though we are almost halfway through the month, there are still a variety of events being held in Tampa’s Downtown that celebrate and bring together inspiring women!
