Free Galentine’s Day Event At Sparkman Wharf In Tampa

You'll have a chance to see the Barbie movie at Sparkman Wharf in Tampa. If you want to really make it a fun night, dress to impress in neon pink or roller blades.

This movie was a major hit at the box office, bringing in more than $1 billion globally. It's picking up at as far as award shows and nominations go, too.

The cool thing is that Sparkman Wharf is hosting this FREE event at 6:30 PM on February 12, which is Galentine’s Day!

If you didn't get a chance to see Barbie, it's worth checking out at Sparkman Wharf. Margot Robbie was picture perfect as Barbie. And yes, she got snubbed. Ryan Gossling played Ken. I love him in so many roles. I loved the quirky "Ken" he brought to life. The dance scenes are amazing! The message is on point. And if you don't somewhat vibe with the message, it's probably not the movie for you.

The fun doesn't have to end when the movie does. Enjoy a dining establishment at Sparkman Wharf or treat yourself to a dessert at Hampton Chocolate Factory.

And there's more fun to be had at Sparkman Wharf during the whole month of February, not just on Galentine's Day. You can enjoy live music on Friday and Saturday nights, as well as Sunday afternoon between 1 and 5 PM. Relax on the lawn and enjoy great food and drinks. Every third Wednesday of the month enjoy a bootcamp. Here's who you'll be able to see perform their musical act: Family Funk, Gerry Williams Band, Light the Wire, Phoenix 5, Shelby Sol, and Whale Feral.

On Monday (December 11), Cedric "The Entertainer" and Wilmer Valderrama announced the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards nominees. The Golden Globes will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, January 7, 2024, at 8 p.m. ET. Of the 22 categories in film and television, Barbie and Oppenheimer took the nominations by storm. Greta Gerwig's film took a whopping ten nominations, making it the second-most nominated film in the awards show's history, tying with 1972's Cabaret! Following close behind was another summer blockbuster which famously opened the same weekend, Oppenheimer. That film scored eight nods for the January awards show. Christopher Nolan's latest installment along with Gerwig's Barbie caused a cultural phenomenon that morphed into the ultimate double feature: "Barbenheimer."

Unlike the Oscars, the Globes honor the best of both film and television. They also distinguish between film genres, separating comedies and musicals from dramas. This means that Oppenheimer will compete for the top drama prize alongside Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest, and Past Lives. Meanwhile, in the best comedy or musical genre, Barbie will compete against Air, American Fiction, Poor Things, May December, and The Holdovers.

There are some notable changes to this year’s show, as each category now has six nominees instead of five. On top of that, the Globes introduced two new prizes to celebrate box office achievements and stand-up comedy performances. That means that films like Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, John Wick: Chapter 4, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 are being recognized for their ticket sales. While the likes of comedians Trevor Noah, Amy Schumer, and Ricky Gervais are getting attention for their stand-up specials. Some notable snubs this year include Ava DuVernay’s Origin and Michael Mann’s Ferrari, which weren't nominated, despite good reviews. Additionally, The Color Purple failed to snag a best musical or comedy nomination.
