What: Bolts Family Carnival
When: Sunday, January 18
Where: Amalie Arena

Why: The Lightning Foundation has created it’s first ever Bolts Family Carnival to help support the foundation as it supports more than 250 local non-profits to distribute funds and services. The carnival will be held under the “big top” (AKA Amalie Arena) and will have all Lightning players in attendance, the Stanley Cup for pictures and lots of awesome carnival-style games and food! Tickets can be purchased based on how long you’d like to stay. I know a day of fun with the Lightening us going to be awesome so we can’t wait to attend! Take the whole family and support the Tampa Bay community while having fun!

What: 18th Annual Treasure Island Sport Kite Festival
When: Saturday, January 17- Sunday, January 18

Why: January at the beach has a chance to be chilly but when the sun is out the blue skies are the prettiest and the day itself is gorgeous! Enjoy a day at the beach while watching professional kite fliers fly kites with great precision! The whole family will have a great time just enjoying the beautiful weather and the activity in the sky!
