Mahaffey Theater and Dali Museum Join Forces for 'Midday By the Bay'

Referred to as the City's new "mini Lincoln Center", the classic Mahaffey Theater and iconic new Dali Museum join forces to present Midday By the Bay, a free lunchtime entertainment series in the green space between these two renowned venues.

Locals are invited to stroll, bike or drive to the Plaza on their lunch break to celebrate these amazing spaces and hear some of the best entertainment in the area while overlooking the beautiful Tampa Bay.

"We are excited to be kicking off this new series at the Plaza with our new neighbors and partners at The Dali Museum. We invite everyone in the community to come and celebrate the amazing things that are happening in their own backyard", says David Rovine, SMG General Manager of the Mahaffey Theater.

Attendees can create their own picnic, "brown bag" lunch or purchase an affordable, delicious snack or sandwich from one of our local vendors.
