CLUB MEMBERSHIP
The Italian Club of Tampa has become an integral part of the community, and we strive to fulfill our mission each and every day. That mission is to preserve and honor the culture, traditions and heritage of the Italian Community and to maintain the historical facility as a functioning memorial to the working-class immigrants. Our most important method of honoring this mission is through the dues and contributions provided by the members, their families, friends, and local businesses. In return we will add value to the membership by providing social activities, fellowship, Italian arts and culture; these activities will provide for growth and stability in the membership, creating a safe and comfortable environment for both members and their families. Membership privileges also entitle you to bi-monthly newsletters and mailers, discounts on facility rentals, preferred status and discounts on select Italian Club Socials and Ybor City functions.
We offer a variety of events and activities throughout the year for our members and the community at large. Our events focus on celebrating the Italian culture and traditions in new and exciting ways. We work diligently to target new audiences, from all communities – both for membership and for event attendees. Here are just a few examples of the events we host each year:
- Krewe Socials & Parties
- First Friday Happy Hour
- Spaghetti Dinners
- Wine Tastings
- Bocce Tournaments
- Holiday Events & Parties
- Mother’s Day Events
- Casino Nights
- Variety Shows & Opera Nights
- Santa Lucia Celebrations
- Fashion Shows
- Kids Events & Programs
- Ybor Parade Parties
- Live Music Concerts
- Member Outings & Trips
- and so much more!
We are always happy to welcome new members, whether from the Italian Community or from all walks of life.

This is vital to the long-term preservation of our historic building, which is the home of our membership, and the backbone of our mission.
