The charming Corey Avenue district is set to be transformed once again as the Corey Avenue Art & Craft Festivals return for their 32^nd annual season on Saturday, January 3 and Sunday, January 4 from 10 am to 5 pm.  A beloved, long-running tradition, these popular, free events transform the heart of St. Pete Beach into a lively, open-air marketplace and a key economic driver for local shops and restaurants.

Hosted by the Corey Area Business Association (CABA), the multi-day 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," 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.

• Handcrafted Treasures: Attendees can browse a diverse array of unique, American-made items, including stunning jewelry and accessories, functional pottery and ceramics, original fine art (paintings and photography), and stylish clothing and home décor.  Vendors include Zane Kuhle, the artisan behind Pottery By Zane, who is a self-taught potter based in Palm Harbor, celebrated for his handcrafted, functional stoneware.
• The Green Market: Complementing the artisan booths on Sunday, January 4 is an expansive Green Market, offering a selection of exotic plants, handmade soaps, gourmet spices, and other specialty food items.
• Vibrant Atmosphere: Beyond the exhibitors, the festival encourages visitors to fully explore the surrounding shops. Patrons can step off the street and into beloved local spots like Chill Restaurant & Bar, Twisted Tiki Bar & Grill, and specialty boutiques like Coastal Cottage and JoJo's Boutique & Curvy Mermaid for lunch, a cocktail, or some retail therapy. The festival provides a free, fun, and community-focused experience that directly benefits the economic health of the Corey Avenue district.
