Sunset On The River (Tampa, FL, United States) 2027

Sunset On The River runs in Tampa on 20 and 21 February 2027, a waterfront music and arts festival the organisers describe as evolving from a decade of dance music tradition into a refined sanctuary of sound and art. Recent editions have used Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park on the Hillsborough River.

Tampa has a longer dance music history than most American cities of its size, and the Sunset name goes back more than a decade in the city. The 2027 edition positions itself away from the large scale format towards something more considered, with the art programme given weight alongside the music.

Tickets are sold through Eventim. Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park sits across the river from downtown Tampa, walkable from the centre and served by the TECO streetcar, with Tampa International 20 minutes away. Late February in Florida is dry and around 24 degrees, which is why the state’s outdoor festival calendar runs through the winter. For a Florida waterfront music festival, the setting is the proposition.
