OnBikes, a Tampa-based nonprofit focused on providing bicycles to at-risk children, has revealed that multi-platinum indie pop sensation Fitz and The Tantrums will headline the 13th Annual Winter Wonder Ride this weekend. This event promises a night to remember and will certainly make your hands clap—pun intended!
Set for Saturday, December 14, 2024, this highly anticipated event will be held at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park (600 N Ashley Dr) in downtown Tampa. This year’s theme, Après Ski After Party, invites attendees to embrace cozy, mountain-inspired vibes in the heart of the city. From “ski lodge chic” attire—puffy jackets, retro ski suits, fur-lined hats, and bold goggles—participants can channel the ultimate festive spirit for this one-of-a-kind celebration.
Bringing the retro ski party energy to Tampa, Julius Tobin, Co-Founder of OnBikes, shared his excitement: “We’re pumped to have Fitz and The Tantrums bring their high-energy performance to our Winter Wonder Ride. Their music embodies the fun and community spirit we cherish, and we can’t wait to create an unforgettable experience for everyone involved!”
Fitz and The Tantrums, famous for hits like “HandClap” and “Out of My League,” released their latest album, Let Yourself Free, in November 2022. Known for their infectious live performances and crowd interaction, this dynamic group is the perfect choice to amplify Winter Wonder Ride’s celebratory atmosphere.
Proceeds from the event will directly support OnBikes’ mission of providing new bikes and helmets to children in need throughout Tampa Bay. Since its inception, the organization has gifted more than 10,000 bicycles, fostering health, confidence, and the joy of freedom for countless local kids.
