No matter the time of year, there's always something going on in St. Pete. Whether you visit in the heart of winter or the heat of summer, chances are you'll find a festival or event waiting for you.

Spring events in St. Pete run the gamut from arts to sports. Music lovers sway to the beat at Reggae Rise Up, while racing fans take to the streets of downtown St. Pete to watch the Firestone Grand Prix.

Summer is dominated by St. Pete Pride, a popular LGBTQ+ event that welcomes over 100,000 visitors in June each year. Dances, concerts, parades, and marches are just the beginning.

Fall brings with it the thrill of September’s St. Pete Powerboat Grand Prix, where you can watch high-speed boats go full throttle. When October rolls around, embrace your creative side while watching artists at work at the SHINE St. Pete Mural Festival.

With winter comes the holiday season, and The North Straub Park Lights are fantastic for getting in the Christmas spirit. And February brings the St. Petersburg Fine Art Festival, which showcases some of the best artwork from Florida artists and beyond.
