Step into the heart of St. Pete Beach for the Corey Avenue Art & Craft Festival, where the island’s most historic shopping district transforms into a sprawling, pedestrian-only open-air gallery on Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4 from 10 am to 5 pm. Stretching between Gulf Boulevard and Blind Pass Road, this premier free event invites you to stroll through a sun-drenched collection of world-class art and handmade treasures, all set against the backdrop of classic “Old Florida” charm. As you explore the vibrant displays, you’ll be surrounded by the district’s best specialty boutiques and local galleries, creating a unique shopping experience that perfectly captures the relaxed, coastal resort atmosphere. Admission is free.
Hosted by the Corey Area Business Association (CABA), the two-day weekend festivals are a must-visit for art lovers, collectors, and anyone seeking unique, handcrafted treasures while supporting the historic district.
“For over three decades, the Corey Avenue Art & Craft Festivals have been a cornerstone of our community, bringing world-class artistry right to our doorstep. Support local arts this Fall at this can’t miss event,” said CABA event organizer Suzanne King. “We invite everyone to stroll the avenue, meet our talented vendors and most importantly, support the diverse array of small businesses, boutiques, and locally owned restaurants that make Corey Avenue unique.”
The two-day weekend events feature a curated collection of contemporary crafts and fine art from skilled artisans across the nation.
