The Hillsborough County Fair is open tonight, but Monday's Rush show is already over.

This is a one week ranking for the week of Monday, November 9, 2026, refreshed on Tuesday, November 10, and it is mostly the Tampa, St. Pete and Sarasota area not a statewide Florida list. The Hillsborough County Fair is open tonight. Monday's Rush show is already over. The first 19 sections rank things still ahead through November 21. The next 20 are search phrases from the November 9 Google Trends pull for the past 7 days, and they were not re-pulled today. Google Trends values are relative. Breakout is Google's label for a rise above 5,000 percent, and the order inside that tier is not a Google rank. Hamilton, Ed Sheeran on November 7, SAVOR St. Pete, the Noah Kahan presale, and festivals that ended on November 8 are not on this list.
