- Tarpon Springs has the highest percentage of Greek Americans of any city in the U.S., earning it the nickname 'Little Greece.'
- Every January 6th, teenage boys dive into Spring Bayou to retrieve a ceremonially thrown wooden cross, and whoever grabs it is said to be blessed for the entire year.
- The 1953 Hollywood film 'Beneath the 12-Mile Reef,' all about sponge diving, was actually filmed right here in Tarpon Springs.
- A Mediterranean sponge disease in the 1980s accidentally gave Tarpon Springs' sponge industry a massive boom, since their Gulf sponges were unaffected.
