Thursday is 813 Day... as in 8/13/...

TAMPA -- Today (Thursday) is 813 Day ... August 13th, which also looks like Tampa's area code since 1953.

Various Tampa area businesses and institutions are marking the occasion on Twitter with the hashtag #813Day. With the pandemic, online is the main means of honoring the occasion this year.

This is the last year that Tampa and Hillsborough County will be exclusive to 813. Next year, the 656 area code will be added as an overlay.

In addition to Tampa and Hillsborough County, 813 is also the area code in Plant City, Temple Terrace, and most of Oldsmar, as well as the Pasco city of Zephyrhills and the Pasco communities of Land O' Lakes and Wesley Chapel.
