About
Overview
Join us for our third annual Bulls and Brews by the Bay!
One of our newer USF St. Petersburg traditions, we host this event to raise funds for the USF St. Petersburg general scholarship fund, offering much-needed financial support to students during the academic year. The first Bulls and Brews by the Bay helped raise $30,000 in student scholarships and the following year we raised more than $40,000.
Nestled along the picturesque waterfront of USF St. Petersburg, this event is a memorable experience for all attendees. Featuring live music and an impressive selection of local craft brews, selected to honor the Brewing Arts program at USF St. Petersburg, this is a great way to connect with other friends and supporters of the university.
So come celebrate the spirit of USF St. Petersburg with an event that combines culinary delights with the power to change lives. Join us and be a part of something extraordinary!

indigo lane
Indigo Lane is a Tampa based band formed in 2024 at the University of South Florida. The seven members met through classes. In Early 2025, the band underwent a transitional period after losing three of their seven members, so they made a decision to pick up two new members. This influenced their sound to more of a indie alt, rock, Midwest emo vibe. The new Indigo Lane gathered some traction playing in and around the Tampa and USF area.
The band is made up of members Annabelle Lopiano (lead vocalist), Alejandra Acero (bassist), Conner Dirksen (lead guitarist), Connor Trimble (rhythm guitarist), Jo'el Hicks (drummer), and Julian Cofield (pianist). They enjoy the support of their fans and look forward to releasing more music soon.
