SHINE St. Pete Mural Festival

Note: 2025 dates have not yet been announced for the SHINE St. Pete Mural Festival. Typically, the festival takes place in October (in 2024, it was rescheduled for November due to storms). We'll update this page as soon as confirmed dates and more information is available.

Returning for its 10th year, the SHINE St. Pete Mural Festival once again ignites the City of the Arts with spectacular large-scale murals and special events. Originally scheduled for October 11 - 20th, this popular event has been rescheduled for November 8-17, 2024. This 10-day festival features a diverse collection of public art from renowned local, national and international mural artists. 

Presented by Reflection St. Pete, SHINE will add a total of 15 new murals throughout St. Petersburg this year. Since 2015, nearly 170 murals have been created throughout the arts districts, thanks to this unique event. You can immerse yourself in the new art being created by booking a daily tour with Star Trolley. Enjoy an unforgettable journey through the city’s artistic landscape and witness brand new art created just for the festival. Tours by foot or bike are also available on the weekends through Florida CraftArt.
