Next Party is Friday July 3, 2009 still looking for a host. 

Click here to see the porch party schedule

If you are interested in hosting a porch party Please sign up via email to webmaster@tampaheights.org, or at the next civic association meeting.

All residents of Tampa Heights are welcome to this unique on-going tradition of Tampa Heights.  Children are residents too and are most certainly welcome but please keep an eye on them at guests homes.

The host provides paper goods, sodas, ice, a covered dish and of course the porch. Guests bring a covered dish (with any serving utensils) and own alcoholic beverages.

On Dec. 13, 2008 Tampa Heights had a Holiday Festival that was a huge success.  Here is a website that has posted pictures from the event that day.

The City of Tampa’s Neighborhood and Community Relations Office is available to help you navigate your way through city government.  With over 34 departments and nearly 5,000 employees, the task of determining which department to call first is sometimes overwhelming for residents. Our office is available to help connect you to the appropriate city department; provide contact information; or input your question, concern or suggestion directly into Tampa’s on-line Customer Service Center.  We can be reached at (813) 274-7835, and I encourage you to call.  Please be sure to also visit our website www.tampagov.net/neighborhoods to learn more about your neighborhood.
