About Vibes

Launched in 2015, Vibes of the Bay has grown into one of Tampa’s signature independent music events. Organized by Symphonic Distribution, the festival celebrates the city’s vibrant creative community, highlighting rising talent and giving local artists a stage to shine. Over the past decade, Vibes of the Bay has featured hundreds of performers across diverse genres, from fresh emerging acts to established names who call Tampa Bay home.

But the festival is more than just music. Each year, it brings together artists, vendors, and fans to celebrate culture, creativity, and community. Beyond the stage, Vibes of the Bay has made a meaningful impact by supporting important causes, partnering with organizations like Feeding Tampa Bay and other local nonprofits to give back to the city that inspires it.

Today, the event stands as a movement, uniting people through art, food, and music while continuing to nurture the independent spirit that defines Tampa Bay.

Music For A Cause

Girls Rock Camp

This year, Vibes of the Bay is proud to support Girls Rock St. Pete — a grassroots program empowering girls, women, and gender-expansive youth through music, art, and fearless self-expression.

By fostering creativity, collaboration, and leadership, Girls Rock St. Pete helps participants build confidence and resilience that last a lifetime. Their programs create a safe, supportive space where young people take healthy risks, see each other as allies, and discover the power of their own voices — all while working to close the gender confidence gap and uplift local youth facing adversity.

*A portion of the drink proceeds will go towards Girls Rock Camp
