When November finally trots around, Clearwater running enthusiasts know that the Times Turkey Trot will soon be getting underway. This is the largest running event in the Tampa Bay, drawing nearly 16,000 participants. This road race is for competitive runners, recreational runners and walkers of all ages. When you pay your entry fee, you'll get a t-shirt. Trophies are awarded to the top finishers and all the proceeds go to help local charities. Additionally, non-perishable food items are collected the day of the race and are donated to a local food pantry.

Clearwater's dazzling natural beauty is well worth celebrating. You can do that by booking your trip on board the Sunset Celebration Cruise. The cruise departs from Clearwater Bay through Clearwater Pass and into the Gulf of Mexico, touring the most beautiful waters surrounding Florida. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the shoreline and sunset while your captain points out some of the many points of interest along the way. The friendly crew will make sure you are comfortable as you enjoy complimentary beer, wine and soft drinks. And, don't miss the special champagne toast at sunset.

The Francis Wilson Playhouse continues to preserve the tradition of classic stage performance in Clearwater.

The theater boasts some of the best and most respected actors in the area who have worked hard to build a reputation for the best local theater experience in Clearwater.
