All Weekend, April 24-26, Various Times
One of USA Triathlon’s “Race of the Year” honorees returns to the St. Petersburg waterfront for a full weekend of Olympic, Sprint, and Meek & Mighty distance events starting with a sunrise swim off the St. Pete Pier and finishing with a post-race party that makes every mile feel worth it.

Mega Night Market: Lao, Thai & Cambodian New Year
All Weekend, April 24-26, Various Times
WIN! Derby grounds becomes a three-day portal into Southeast Asian culture, with over 50 food vendors, live performances, traditional music, and a community parade celebrating Songkran and Choul Chnam Thmey all at once. Entry is free, parking is free, and the only thing it’ll cost you is any excuse you had to stay home this weekend.
Sip & Stroll on Corey Avenue
📍Beyond the Burg: St. Pete Beach
Friday, April 24, 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Corey Avenue in St. Pete Beach comes alive on the last Friday of every month with a walkable evening of local shops, rotating food and drink specials, and the kind of low-key socializing that makes a Friday feel like it was always supposed to go this way. No two events are exactly alike, which is a genuinely good reason to keep showing up every month.
Hot Wheels Legends Tour
📍Beyond the Burg: Pinellas Park
Saturday, April 25, 8 a.m. – 12 p.m.
The Hot Wheels Legends Tour stops at the Pinellas Park Walmart Supercenter, where custom car builders compete for the chance to have their creation immortalized as an actual die-cast toy, which is one of the most genuinely cool things a person can win. Expect life-size Garage of Legends cars, exclusive collectibles, and the kind of free family event that makes a Saturday morning feel completely justified.
6th Annual St. Pete Earth Day
Saturday, April 25, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
St. Pete Youth Farm marks its sixth Earth Day celebration with a full morning lineup that includes a sound bath, sourdough baking, afternoon tea tasting, a free fruit tree giveaway, live music, farm tours, and a secondhand market that keeps growing every year. It’s free, it’s genuinely good for you, and it’s the rare event where leaving with a fruit tree is a completely normal outcome.
Saturday Morning Market*
Saturday, April 25, 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Kick off your weekend at the free Saturday Morning Market at Al Lang Stadium Parking Lot, where local vendors offer fresh produce, handcrafted goods, and more–rain or shine.
Bucs Beach Bash*
📍Beyond the Burg: St. Pete Beach
Saturday, April 25, 11 a.m. – 8 p.m.
TradeWinds Resort in St. Pete Beach hosts its 6th Annual Bucs Beach Bash on the sand, with live entertainment, VIP fan experiences, and a full day of Buccaneers pride timed perfectly to NFL Draft Weekend. It’s free, it’s beachfront, and it’s the most socially acceptable way to spend a Saturday yelling about football in April.
Futurity Pop-Up Market
Saturday, April 25, 6 p.m. – 9 p.m.
Queer Expressions STX brings its Futurity pop-up back to Ruya with a Spellbound theme, featuring BIPOC vendors, live acoustic music, a DJ, arts and crafts, and a Palestinian Mexican fusion food pop-up to handle dinner. Expect celestial patterns, whimsigoth energy, velvet, glitter, and the kind of Saturday night that makes every other Saturday feel like it wasn’t trying hard enough.
Ramirez Live in Concert
Saturday, April 25, 7 p.m. – 10 p.m.
Jannus Live welcomes Ramirez, the G*59 Records collective member known for blending trap metal and cloud rap into something the underground hip-hop scene has been loudly enthusiastic about for years. If that combination of genres means anything to you, you already know whether you’re going.
Tampa Bay Sun FC vs Carolina Ascent FC*
Saturday, April 25, 7:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
The Tampa Bay Sun FC return to Suncoast Credit Union Field in Tampa to take on Carolina Ascent FC in what promises to be a full evening of professional women’s soccer worth showing up for. Grab your tickets, bring your loudest voice, and go cheer on the Sun.
Tampa Bay Rowdies vs. Sarasota Paradise
Saturday, April 25, 7:30 p.m. – 10 p.m.
Al Lang Stadium hosts the Rowdies as they welcome Sarasota Paradise for a Saturday night USL match with the waterfront as a backdrop, which is honestly an unfair advantage for having a good time. Show up, make noise, and remind Sarasota exactly whose bay this is.
33rd Annual Downtown Dunedin Craft Festival
📍Beyond the Burg: Dunedin
Saturday & Sunday, April 25-26, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Main Street in Dunedin gets taken over for the weekend by the 33rd Annual Downtown Dunedin Craft Festival, with handmade goods, a green market stocked with artisanal soaps and small-batch spices, and enough independent creators to justify the short drive up the coast. Browse the tents, grab a coffee, and come home with at least one ceramic planter you didn’t plan on buying.
Green Thumb Festival
Saturday & Sunday, April 25-26, Various Times
Walter Fuller Park hosts St. Petersburg’s annual Arbor Day celebration with more than 120 plant, flower, and garden vendors descending on the grounds for a full weekend of horticultural enthusiasm. It’s free, it’s family-friendly, and it’s the most socially acceptable reason to come home with an unreasonable number of plants.
Pete’s Bagels Birthday Market: Lucky 7
Sunday, April 26, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Pete’s Bagels is turning 7 and celebrating with a full block party at the Grand Central location, featuring 14 local vendors, live screenprinting, live music, family-friendly activities, and bagel and drink specials. Showing up to someone else’s birthday party where the food is already this good is, objectively, the correct way to spend a Sunday morning.
Kenwood Sunday Market
Sunday, April 26, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Explore an outdoor market featuring farm-fresh produce, handmade crafts, multicultural foods, and live music at the historic St. Petersburg High School campus.
