Four years after its founding, the Ybor Arts Tour is going strong and making plans for its fall excursion.

A press release says the no-cover, self-guided public tour will happen in October, highlighting the district’s galleries, along with visual artists, live performers and literary scene.

Last spring, the biannual tour included 20 locations. So far, the fall Ybor Arts Tour includes places like Tempus Projects, HCC’s Gallery 114, the Kress Contemporary, Lara’s art speakeasy, the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, and more.

A rep for the Ybor Arts Tour told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that RSVPs for participating businesses, artists and performers are open until Sept. 4.

“The Ybor Arts Tour is one way we highlight our neighborhood’s creative identity amid rapid change. As Ybor evolves, it’s crucial to keep its artistic spirit visible, supported, and celebrated,” Tracy Midulla, Founder and Director of Tempus Projects, said in a press release.

There’s no cover for the Ybor Arts Tour happening Thursday, Oct. 15 across Ybor City.
