St. Pete Beach is about to get a whole lot louder, livelier, and Buccaneer-bold. Get ready, because the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Beach Bash is making its grand return, turning three days in April into a whirlwind of football passion, country music, and sun-drenched celebration. From April 24 to 26, TradeWinds Island Resorts will transform this coastal paradise into a fan-fueled party that blends the thrill of the NFL with the bliss of the beach. And the best part? General admission is absolutely free.
Thursday: Draft Picks and Drink Specials
Thursday night kicks off the revelry with a bang—NFL Draft night at The Sports Deck at RumFish Grill. Doors swing open at 8 p.m., and from that moment on, it’s all about football, flavor, and fans. Watch the first picks of the 2025 draft unfold live, while enjoying unbeatable food and drink specials, surrounded by fellow Bucs believers. This isn’t just a watch party—it’s the first cannon blast of an unforgettable weekend.
Friday: Trivia, Tunes, and Team Spirit
The energy ramps up on Friday with a full slate of games, music, and madness. Picture this: the Bucs Street Team hyping the crowd, Captain Fear mingling with fans, and Bucs trivia buzzing in the salty air. Add to that cheerleader photo ops and you’ve got a football festival with beach flair. Whether you’re a diehard fan or just love the vibe, this is the kind of evening that sticks with you—long after the sun dips into the Gulf.
Saturday: Full-Blown Beach Takeover
Saturday is where it all comes together. The beach becomes a battlefield of games, giveaways, and gridiron glory, starting with a 1 p.m. cornhole tournament—because why just lounge when you can compete under the sun? In the Bucs Activity Zone, the fun gets cranked to max volume with inflatables, contests, and appearances from the whole Krewe: pirates, cheerleaders, and of course, Captain Fear. It’s a nonstop celebration wrapped in sunscreen and Buccaneer pride.
Saturday Night Spotlight: LOCASH Live in Concert
As twilight hits, the sands of St. Pete turn into a live concert arena. Country duo LOCASH hits the stage at 8:15 p.m., bringing their feel-good, chart-topping anthems like “I Love This Life” and “Feels Like a Party” to the roaring crowd. This is where music meets magic, and every beat echoes through the surf. Don’t be surprised if your heart races to the rhythm of this unforgettable night.
Go VIP: Party Like a Pirate
