Lightning watch parties: Where to watch the Bolts during the playoffs

Several watch parties are planned throughout the Tampa Bay area.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have announced several official watch parties as their first-round playoff series continues against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Ford Thunder Alley is hosting the official watch party with the puck drop scheduled for 7 p.m. ET Friday. There will be drink specials, food trucks, live music, giveaways and more.

North Straub Park in downtown St. Petersburg is scheduled to host the Game 3 watch party at 7 p.m. ET Sunday. The park is located at 400 Bayshore Drive North East.

Sparkman Wharf in Tampa is scheduled to host the Game 4 watch party at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday. It's located at 615 Channelside Drive.

As the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, it's unlikely the Blue Jackets will sweep the Lightning in four games. Ford Thunder Alley is scheduled to host the Game 5 watch party on Friday, April 19. A time for puck drop is not yet scheduled.
