First Thursdays in downtown Tampa have been a sweet treat for 16 years now, thanks to Rock the Park. The locally-grown concert series at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park<\/a> is a bonafide staple of life in the 813 (even if you have a 656 number).<\/p>\n

This week it is locked on the future (new band Maryn Alyse), ready to rock (Saints of Saturn), and tapping in with one of the most soulful songwriters in the Bay area (Sunde). There\u2019s no cover, so bring your kids, pets, and blankets. We\u2019re sure there\u2019ll be cake.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no cover to see Saints of Saturn, Sunde, and Maryn Alyse at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in Tampa on Thursday, Sept. 3.<\/a><\/p>\n
