About the city
Clearwater, a sunny city on the shores of Tampa Bay, naturally blends Florida’s laid-back rhythm with the buzz of major events. With famous beaches nearby and an active downtown, it’s an ideal choice for visitors who want to pair a concert or a sporting spectacle with an easy seaside break. The city is comfortable to navigate, neighborhoods connect smoothly, and the range of dining and accommodation fits everyone—from polished waterfront hotels to practical inland options.
Getting in and moving around is especially straightforward: you can use St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport (PIE) or Tampa International Airport (TPA), and for rail travel the most common hub is Tampa Union Station. Across the wider Pinellas area and Clearwater itself, the PSTA bus network is a reliable backbone, and in visitor-friendly zones the Jolley Trolley is often a convenient extra. With public transit, taxis, and ride-share services working together, reaching arenas and stadiums is quick and low-stress.
When your ticket isn’t the only reason to come, Clearwater delivers plenty of bonus moments: stroll the shoreline of Clearwater Beach, stop by Pier 60, or follow the downtown waterfront paths and parks. It’s easy to fit in a short pre-show walk or a relaxed evening wander afterward, with sunset views and the calmer pace of the bay. The result is a complete experience—an event as the highlight and a city backdrop that makes it even better.
