Events
Support Us Through Our Events

Festival of Trees
Festival of Trees is celebrated in the Tampa Bay area as the premiere family friendly kick-off to the holiday season. A signature event supporting The Arc Tampa Bay Foundation, guests visit The Long Center in Clearwater to enjoy a winter wonderland of sparkling trees and wreaths decorated by the Tampa Bay community.
Wings, Wheels & Wine
Wings, Wheels & Wine is an award-winning event supporting The Arc Tampa Bay Foundation. Held at The Clearwater Airpark’s Executive Hangar, this event features dinner, libations, live and silent auctions and music all while surrounded by some of the area’s vintage and exotic cars, boats and planes.
The Omelette Party
For more than 50 years, The Omelette Party has raised money for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities serve by The Arc Tampa Bay. Always hosted in a private residence, this invitation only, black-tie event has served as the cornerstone of The Arc Tampa Bay Foundation’s fundraising events. Originally featuring omelettes and champagne, the evening has grown to include live entertainment, dinner and libations. Artwork created by the talented artists of The Arc Tampa Bay’s Harborside Studios, is displayed and available for purchase as is a curated selection of fine jewelry with proceeds benefitting The Arc Tampa Bay.
