EVENTS & SPORTS


Events
Cultural opportunities in Clearwater and surroundings are colorful and multifaceted. Take in an outdoor concert or local festival in downtown or see theater and orchestra performances at Ruth Eckerd Hall. The Jazz Holiday, held in October each year, is one of Florida's premier jazz festivals.
 
Pier-Events

Along the pristine shores of Clearwater Beach two hours before the sun sinks into the Gulf of Mexico people flock to Pier 60 Park to salute the setting of the Florida sun. Sink your feet into the sand and dance to the rhythm of live music flowing from Pier 60 Pavilion. The City of Clearwater Beach heralds this evening spectacle with "Sunsets at Pier 60", every Thursday through Monday on the city pier with artists, magicians, jugglers, musicians, and vendors. This landmark is easy to find since the major road on to the island, State Road 60, leads you to the intersection of Coronado Drive, the Pier looming in the background.

 
Sports
Clearwater Beach has a lot more to offer than just the beach. There are, for example, a lot of activities to do and top sports attractions to spectate:
