Eat at Joe's Returns with Lightning Pep Rally
The popular downtown Tampa lunchtime event celebrates the Tampa Bay Lightning in October.

Tampa Bay area residents without lunchtime plans are invited to put on their favorite Tampa Bay Lightning gear to Eat at Joeâs on Oct. 14.
The regular lunchtime event in downtown Tampa is designed to get folks to come out of their office buildings to enjoy live music and other entertainment. Octoberâs installment is planned to double as a Lightning Pep Rally as regular season play begins again for the Eastern Conference champs. With that in mind, attendees can anticipate lots of hockey-related fun.
Set to take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Joe Chillura Courthouse Square on the corner of Pierce and Kennedy, the event will feature music, food and some big-name guests. The Bolt Brigade, the Lightning Girls and ThunderBug are also expected to attend. The Rolling Thunder Truck will also be onsite with giveaways.
