- The regions largest Oktoberfest attracting over 21,000 attendees the last full weekend in October.
- Oldsmar Days & Nights - "Classic rock - classic cars - classic Florida"
- Oldsmar Freedom Fest - A 3 day motorcycle event in downtown Oldsmar
- 19th Hole Mixer - "A traveling indoor putt putt contest"
- Annual Mayor's Breakfast - "to support needy families during the holiday season"
- Monthly Business Breakfast, Lunch and After-Hours Mixer
- ...and more
The Tampa Bay Business Journal in it’s annual prestigious Book of Lists rates the top 25 regional festivals.
Did you know that:
· Oktoberfest would rank 20th on that list with a 2009 attendance of 22,000 guests? Trust us the TBBJ now knows that.
-
· Oldsmar Days and FreedomFest would slightly trail the 25th entry (14,000 guests) with attendance in the 12-13,000 range?
-
· Only three other chambers are on the list as event organizers and one of those events is Guavaween?
-
· The Upper Tampa Regional Chamber is the only regional chamber with multiple events in this attendance range?
-
· Four of the current top 25 events are bike and auto related and Oldsmar Days and FreedomFest are centered around classic cars and bikes?
-
· Oktoberfest 2008 (18,000 attendance) was estimated to generate $432,000 in economic activity by Research Data Services, Inc?
-
· Based on that estimate that our three events generate over $1.15 million in local economic activity?
-
Arguably, this chamber and city have three of the top thirty events in the Tampa Bay Region?
We do events right! Can you afford not to be part of it?
