As a Tampa local, I’ve attended two of these Candlelight concerts, and I can honestly say The Vault has the most magical atmosphere — especially during the Halloween tributes. There’s something about the glow of thousands of candles in a historic venue that makes the music feel even more special.
These concerts have become a favorite for date nights and group outings in our city.
