About the city
Largo, Florida, located in Pinellas County within the greater Tampa Bay area, is a convenient base for concerts, sporting events and other forms of entertainment on Florida's west coast. The city combines a relaxed atmosphere, a wide selection of restaurants and accommodation, and a favorable location between Clearwater, St. Petersburg and Tampa, allowing visitors to easily combine attending an event with exploring the wider region. The local cultural scene is further enhanced by the Central Park Performing Arts Center, while the proximity of larger arenas, stadiums and concert venues in surrounding cities provides a broad choice of events throughout the year.
Getting around Largo and the rest of Pinellas County is made easier by the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA), the local bus network connecting the city with Clearwater, St. Petersburg and other destinations in the area. An important transportation hub is the Largo Transit Center, served by PSTA routes, including connections to other major transfer points across the region. For visitors arriving by air, St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) and Tampa International Airport (TPA) are particularly convenient options. The extensive Tampa Bay road network, together with bus services, taxis and on-demand transportation services, makes it relatively easy to reach concert halls, sports stadiums and other event venues in Largo and neighboring cities.
Before or after an event, it is worth setting aside some time to discover the quieter side of the city. Largo Central Park is located in the heart of Largo and offers spacious green areas and walking paths, while the Florida Botanical Gardens are among the best-known local places to experience Florida's tropical and subtropical vegetation. Largo's location also makes it easy to take a trip toward the Gulf of Mexico coast and the well-known beaches of Pinellas County.
