Florida · October – April · Hillsborough County

Ice cream truck rental in Tampa.

Eighteen to twenty-four miles south of the winter base — the fairgrounds, the downtown night markets and the bay's whole wedding market. Bigger crowds, longer tow, worth the date.

Tampa is the longest regular tow of the Florida season, and the biggest crowds in it — which is why a Tampa date is worth the haul when it lands. New Tampa, on the way, has its own page.

The coach is a covered stagecoach with a hand-dipping counter inside it, and Tampa is part of its Florida season, October – April.

What's on around Tampa.

  • The Florida State Fairgrounds — twelve days of the state fair each February
  • Monthly night markets downtown
  • Gasparilla and the city's big-crowd January dates
  • The Tampa Bay wedding market, at the far end of the barn belt

Questions

Before you send the date

Do you bring the ice cream coach to Tampa?
Yes. The coach works Tampa October – April, out of its Florida base in Wesley Chapel.
What does it cost to book the coach in Tampa?
Tampa dates are quoted for the day, like every other: the occasion, the guest count, how long the window stays open and the tow from Wesley Chapel set the number. There is no menu-board price list.
