It will be a “big time” in Gainesville, Florida this weekend! On what would have been Tom’s 68th birthday this Saturday October 20, the City of Gainesville - Parks, Recreation will be renaming Northeast Park, located in the neighborhood where Tom grew up, as Tom Petty Park. The dedication ceremony is scheduled to begin at 1:30 PM on Saturday. The park is located at 501 NE 16th Ave. in Gainesville. This event is just one of many happenings around Gainesville over the weekend, including two multi-day festivals at Depot Park and Heartwood Soundstage featuring bands and artists from around the country playing a mix of Tom’s music and their own. See details of all the events in the Events section of our official Facebook Page. Our heartfelt thanks to all the fans in Gainesville and around the country for their love and support in celebrating Tom’s legacy this weekend!
