Massive Bucs Beach Party

A Massive Bucs Beach Party is planned for NFL’s Opening Weekend at TradeWinds Islands Resorts

Hosted at TradeWinds Islands Resorts, the 3rd annual Bucs Beach Bash is a weekend long party in the sand to celebrate the start of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers season.

The family-friendly event takes place September 9-11, as the Bucs open their season on the road against the Dallas Cowboys. The Buccaneers Watch Party and Kid Zone will keep fans entertained all weekend with live music, corn hole tournaments, poolside parties, pirates, and the Buccaneer's Street Team.

On Friday, September 9, RumFish Grill will host a tailgate kickoff party featuring live music, happy hour specials, and Buccaneers Street Team appearances. Saturday’s schedule kicks off in the afternoon, starting with a cornhole tournament where the winner will receive two “Gameday Getaway” tickets. After the beachside DJ on Saturday, there will be fun in the Bucs Kid Zone, leading to a concert on the beach that evening.

There will be another cornhole tournament on Sunday, with the winner receiving two tickets to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game, followed by more live music on the beach. The fun continues that evening as guests watch the Bucs take on the Cowboys on a big screen on the beach.

The Bucs Beach Bash events are free and open to the public, though Tradewinds is also offering special two-night VIP hotel packages as the Official Beach Resort of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

In addition to accommodations at a discounted rate, VIP packages include access to the VIP Lounge for Saturday's concert and Sunday's gameday watch party, a bucket of beer and appetizers at RumFish Grill and a Buccaneers swag bag, along with a nightly resort amenity fee for parking and beach cabanas, among others.
