Palm Harbor FL, a beautiful town, is about 45 minutes from Tampa and St. Petersburg, far enough to stay away from the traffic, but close enough to make visiting these popular cities easy. It is also between Dunedin and Tarpon Springs. Palm Harbor is home to many great shops and restaurants. Favorites include the Thirsty Marlin Grill & Bar, Lucky Dill Deli, Peggy O’Neill’s Irish Pub, Magnolia Grille, and many more!
In June every year the Palm Harbor Downtown YMCA hosts a kids fishing tournament at Wall Springs Park. Howard & I have been working this event for the past 9 years. We assemble 260 rods & reels making them fish ready for the kids. Howard is in charge of the piers & we are also sponsors for this fantastic event. 260 kids between 3-13 years old invade the Wall Springs Piers for 4 hours. The tournament gives out trophies for first fish, smallest fish & biggest fish caught.
One of the most popular areas of Palm Harbor FL is its downtown area. It houses many of the favorite restaurants, as well as fun shops. Throughout the year, festivals and craft shows are also held there, such as “First Friday”, an event held on the first Friday of the month. This event features a food truck rally, a very popular trend in the food industry. Delicious food and great fun causes many people, residents of Palm Harbor, and of other areas of Florida to love the First Friday event.
