The doors opened for the Sugar Party at Honey Pot Sunday. The red floor to ceiling curtains were draped for the soon to be dramatically opened for the biggest desert party benefit in Tampa!  30 restaurants donated their deserts and helped make the charity night a huge success.

    “The costs for holding the December event,  Ybor City Holiday Spirit  is getting more expensive.” said Mathieu Stanoch, promoter of the huge GaYBOR/ Ybor City citywide Christmas community event.

     “We now have an addition of 6 high school bands that want to participate in the 7th Ave parade. We need more money and sponsorships to make this all happen. So smaller venue benefits are being held for the Christmas Holiday Spirit events.” This is the 4th year for the Ybor City Holiday Spirit but 7th year for holiday decorating of the streets in Ybor City. GaYBOR members, local residents and YCDC  come together to decorate 7th Ave, Centennial Park and 15th, 16th & 17th streets. It is now a community holiday destination with the snow falling on 7th Ave during the night parade. Last year over 40,000 families drove to experience the snow parade.

    The Sugar Party had plenty of assorted deserts, puddings,cookies and specialty drinks to sample along with a full line-up of great entertainment for the attendees.

        A very special call out to Florida Entertainment Group, D. Stephen Moss, Steve Donahue and staff for supporting new innovative artsy ideas in our historic Ybor City
