About this Event
🖤 SAVE YBOR CITY: Community Action
Ybor City’s independent venues, artists, musicians and small businesses are part of what makes this neighborhood what it is.
On Tuesday, October 27, the Barrio Latino Commission is scheduled to hear BLC 26-0000115 and BLC 26-0000117, related to the proposed Live Nation venue in Ybor City.
Our coalition opposes the project, and we want to make sure the people who live, work, create and spend time in Tampa know what’s happening—and know how to make their voices heard.
📣 JOIN US SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25 AT THE SHUFFLE
We’re hosting a FREE community gathering + public comment training ahead of the Barrio Latino Commission meeting.
No experience with public comment is needed. If you care about Ybor, local music, independent venues, small businesses or Tampa’s creative community, come out.
🎤 OPEN MIC
Poets, musicians, writers, performers and artists are invited to share their work. All subjects are welcome, with a special invitation for work about community, local art, independent spaces and corporate power.
📝 PUBLIC COMMENT TRAINING
We’ll break down:
• What the Barrio Latino Commission does
• What these Live Nation applications are about
• How public comment works
• How to write a clear 2–3 minute comment
• What to expect when you get to City Hall
You’ll have time to write your comment, practice it and get feedback before October 27.
📧 TAKE ACTION THAT DAY
We’ll also help attendees submit written comments to the Barrio Latino Commission and make it easy to invite friends, neighbors and other Tampa residents to participate.
Then on:
🏛️ TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27 — 9:00 AM
Old City Hall

Ybor has always been shaped by the people who gather here, make things here, open businesses here, perform here and build community here.
This is an opportunity for Tampa residents to show up, learn how the process works and make sure the community is heard. 🖤
