Showcasing more than 200 local independent businesses in Downtown St. Pete's Williams Park each year, Localtopia is one way St. Pete/Clearwater shows its love for all things local.

Be sure to visit St. Pete-Clearwater during the holidays for a unique, cheerful tradition: lighted boat parades, when boats, decked out in thousands of twinkling lights, take to the Intracoastal Waterway spark cheer in communities up and down the coast.

Snowbirds aren't the only ones who flock to St. Pete-Clearwater when the snow starts falling up north. The Toronto Blue Jays are one of several Major League Baseball teams that holds Spring Training in the area. Catch a game before they fly north for season play!

This major festival - one of the biggest pride celebrations in the U.S. - take place each June in St. Pete. Though the event evolves each year, you'll always find a warm and inclusive environment, great entertainment and plenty of good food.

Got a need for speed? Check out the Clearwater Offshore Nationals, when boats equipped with 6,000-horsepower engines zoom over the water at speeds of up to 100 mph. Watch from the beach!

Each year, SHINE Mural Festival brings artists from around the globe to St. Pete to create brilliant murals throughout St. Pete, often with a social or environmental message.
