Night in the Islands to Take Sponge Docks

The main event this weekend is Saturday's Night in the Islands celebration, which takes place on the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks (Dodecanese Boulevard and North Pinellas Avenue) at 6 p.m. 

Participants will be able to enjoy authentic Greek food and live music from Odyssey. Dancing is inevitable and the whole family can enjoy this event. 

Patrons also have the option to dine under the stars with tables set up along the scenic sponge docks strip. The event is free except for parking on the sponge docks, which varies in price.

In addition to the usual festivities, Night in the Islands is gaining extra support from a recent grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

The event will run until about 11 p.m.
