Tarpon Springs To Host Last Night In The Islands For 2017

TARPON SPRINGS, FL – For one more time in 2017, the people around Tarpon Springs can spend one more night in the islands without leaving Pinellas County.

Tarpon Springs will host its final Night in the Islands event on Saturday, Oct. 7 from 6 to 7 p.m. on the Sponge Docks. The free cultural event is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Tarpon Springs Merchants Association.

The September edition of Night in the Islands was cancelled so the City of Tarpon Springs could prepare ahead of the storm.

Night in the Islands features Greek dining, music and dancing. During the first hour, the Levendia Dance Troup will offer free Greek dancing lessons. Live music will be provided throughout the evening by Ellada, comprised of three of Florida’s most accomplished Greek musicians: Leonidas Zafiris, bouzouki; Elias Poulos, vocals; and Dino Theofilos, keyboard.
