Get ready to shop ‘til you drop at one of St. Petersburg’s largest vendor festivals. Running for the last 13 years, Shopapalooza Festival is hosted at Vinoy Park in Downtown St. Pete.
🎪 Event information
This free event celebrates all things local, from food vendors to artisanal makers. Over 350 small businesses pitch tents to showcase their best work and products for Tampa Bay area residents to shop in time for the holidays.
This year’s event hosted by LocalShops1 takes place on Saturday, Nov. 25, and Sunday, Nov. 26, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In addition to featuring local vendors, Shopapalooza is co-sponsored by the City of St. Petersburg.
🛍️ Fun activities
Beyond serving as a one-stop shopping experience, the family-friendly festival will feature live entertainment, a kids zone with Santa photo ops and games, and raffle prizes for folks who register for free online — like a $500 shopping spree and gifts from local businesses.
