NFL Draft parties, Uncle Kracker concert highlight Bucs Beach Bash this weekend

Raise the flags, fire the cannons, and … break out your swimsuit? Hosted at TradeWinds Resort, the 6th annual Bucs Beach Bash is a weekend-long party in the sand to celebrate the NFL Draft for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, taking place Thursday-Saturday, April 23-25.

Fans can party like a pirate all weekend long with live music, corn hole tournaments, poolside parties, Bucs Watch Party and Kid Zone, plus fan favorites like the Buccaneers Cheerleaders, Captain Fear, pirates, and the Buccaneers Street Team. A concert by Uncle Kracker on Saturday headlines the musical portion of the weekend. Check out the full schedule below

While festivities are free to attend, you can also upgrade your visit with VIP Experience for the concerts, or even book a staycation and make it a full weekend of football fun at the resort. The $50 VIP Experience is a particularly good deal, including four drink tickets, access to the VIP Lounge with private bar, and prime access near the stage.

If you book a stay with their Party Like A Pirate package, you get discounted room rates, drink tickets, free Bucs swag, merch discounts, VIP wristbands, and much more. Learn more here.
