Support and Shop Local this Fall at the Corey Avenue Art & Craft Festival

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.

· 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.
· The Green Market: Complementing the artisan booths on Sunday is an expansive Green Market, offering a selection of exotic plants, handmade soaps, gourmet spices, and other specialty food items.
· Vibrant Atmosphere: Beyond the hundreds of art vendors, 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.

The 32nd Season of the Corey Avenue Art & Craft Festival is located at 300 Corey Avenue in St. Pete Beach, FL.
