Special events are held at Busch Gardens Tampa throughout the year. Annual events like Christmas Town take place across multiple dates and throughout the park. Some annual events, like Mardi Gras, take place in a single realm. Beyond the annual events, some short-term or one-off events also dot the calendar each season. While not every special event has its own map, many of the annual and a few of the special events do, and some of those throughout the years are available below.
