A friendly reminder. We will be attending the Tampa Bay Hamfest December 6th - 7th.
The Tampa Bay Hamfest is the largest amateur radio trade show on Florida's west coast. The Manatee Civic Center has numerous amenities including premium meeting facility space, a large exhibit hall, and free paved parking.
The Manatee Civic Center in is Palmetto, across the river from Bradenton, which in located in the south Tampa Bay Area - about halfway between downtown St. Petersburg and downtown Sarasota.
The Tampa Bay Hamfest is held at the Manatee County Convention and Civic Center in Palmetto.
The address is 1 Haben Blvd. The Civic Center is located at the northeast corner of Haben Blvd and US 301. This is just north of the Manatee River and downtown Bradenton.
The Civic Center is located about three miles west of exit 224 (old 43) on Interstate 75. Go west on US-301 (also known as 10th Street) take a left on Haben Blvd (there is a sign directing you to turn for the Manatee Civic Center.) Follow Haben Blvd until you reach the Civic Center.
From Pinellas and West Pasco County take Interstate 275 south across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, and exit at US-19 Exit 5 (old 2) and continue south. After US-19 ends when it merges into US-41, watch for the US-41/Business US-41 split. Stay on US-41 (left fork.) When you go over US-301, take the next left, Haben Blvd. and the civic center is on your left. The Civic Center is five miles south of the southern toll bridge on Sunshine Skyway.
