12th Annual Jingle & Mingle
The Holiday Heist at the Museum
A Night of Mystery, Mischief & Holiday Giving Benefiting Toys for Tots
A crime has been committed. The suspects are gathering. And everyone's invited.
This December, the historic Tampa Firefighters Museum (Historic Fire Station No. 1) becomes the scene of a holiday heist, and we need your help to crack the case!
Something valuable has vanished from the museum. The mob is making moves, detectives are following leads, and a few suspicious characters seem to know more than they're letting on.
The question is... who pulled off the heist?
Join the FBI Tampa Citizens Academy Alumni Association for our 12th Annual Jingle & Mingle: The Holiday Heist at the Museum, an unforgettable evening of mystery, intrigue, festive fun, and community giving.
Explore the historic museum, mingle with a colorful cast of characters, uncover clues, and see if you can solve the mystery before the night is over.
And while we're investigating a fictional crime, we're coming together for a very real cause. This special holiday event benefits Toys for Tots, supporting its upcoming Christmas in July program and helping bring joy to children in need.
