History as a Joke: Snow Show

Celebrate the holidays with laughter at the Tampa Bay History Center’s “History as a Joke: Snow Show.” Join comedians Johnny B, John J. Murray, and Matt Fernandez from the 3 Ugly Mugs podcast, along with the History Center’s Rodney Kite-Powell, for a hilarious look back at one of Tampa’s strangest winter tales.
In 1958, downtown Tampa tried to bring winter magic to Florida, but the Snow Show melted into mayhem. What began as a cheerful holiday stunt quickly turned into a frosty fiasco remembered for all the wrong reasons.
Relive the chaos, laugh at the legend, and kick off your holiday season with humor and history. Admission is $10.
