LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO TONIGHT? Join us for Riverfest Reflections: Immersive Event Photography, a gallery opening at Blake High School showcasing the incredible work of student photographers who captured Tampa Riverfest 2025.

Thanks to the Gasparilla Music Festival Photo Ops Mentorship Program in partnership with Blake’s Mass Communications department, these students gained hands-on experience in live music and event photography — opportunities made possible through the Hillsborough County Arts Council and Board of County Commissioners.

The event will go until 7 p.m.

Want a preview? ABC Action News' Robert Boyd featured the program and the talented students whose work will be on display >> https://www.tampabay28.com/news/region-hillsborough/student-photographers-show-off-their-professional-skills-at-blake-high-school
