The experience
What's special
Sunset On The River is a two-day electronic music and arts festival at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park in Tampa on February 20 and 21, 2027. It is a re-imagined Sunset Music Festival, the long-running Tampa dance event from Sunset Events and Disco Presents, which moves from its earlier larger grounds to a smaller riverside park along the Hillsborough River. The organizers describe a boutique, luxury experience with curated music, immersive arts and elevated hospitality, and attendance is limited to adults aged 21 and over.
How it works
The festival runs from 3pm to 11pm on both days, Saturday February 20 and Sunday February 21, 2027, at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park, just across the Hillsborough River from downtown Tampa. Tickets are two-day passes in four tiers: General Admission at $149.95, GA+ at $199.95, VIP at $259.95 and Ultra VIP at $299.95, sold through Eventim, with a payment plan offered. Entry is for ages 21 and over with valid identification.
Who it suits
This suits adult dance-music fans who would rather have a smaller, more comfortable event than a stadium-scale festival. The organizers pitch a premium, intimate experience, with upgraded tiers up to Ultra VIP for those who want more space and service, and entry is restricted to ages 21 and over. The park is near downtown, so visitors can pair the weekend with a city stay.
When it runs
Two nights of music on February 20 and 21, 2027, running 3 PM to 11 PM daily, for ages 21 and over.

Airbnb & private camping
Downtown Tampa and adjacent neighborhoods (Tampa Heights, across the river from the venue) have solid Airbnb inventory. Sunset On The River positions itself as a small, 'intimate boutique luxury' event (per the official site) rather than a mass-attendance festival.
Search AirbnbJulian B. Lane Riverfront Park is an urban downtown park with no Hipcamp inventory. Tampa Bay-area Hipcamp listings are rural/exurban sites well outside downtown, not a realistic walkable/transit alternative to a hotel for this festival.
