Southern Drip: Halloween Day Party

Get ready for a spooky good time at Southern Drip: Halloween Day Party! Hosted by Evolve Tampa Bay, the Hillsborough County Planning Committee, and the Central Florida Ballroom Collective, we’re bringing the community together for a nightmarish-good mix of music, poolside fun, free food, and Halloween flair.

Join us Sunday, October 18, 2026, from 3–7 p.m. at Casa V.M. Ybor. Bring your best boo-look or a poolside fit, then bring that main-character energy to the costume contest. We’ll have prizes for the best-dressed individual and group, a live DJ, and more. This is a 21+ event.

HIV testing is still part of the fun and a way to get free entry: get tested at Metro Healthy Communities between October 5 and 16, or test on-site the day of the party.

Come ready to catch a vibe, show off the fit, and enjoy a little spooky season with your people.
