Summer Events & Festivals


Summer heats up in St. Pete-Clearwater with St Pete Pride, the nation’s largest Pride event, featuring a month-long celebration filled with concerts, a street fair, parade and much more. The St. Pete Pier hosts The Fourth celebration with activities for all ages, including a family fun zone, craft beer garden, food trucks, vendors and live music. 

You can explore weekly markets in most communities and there’s even a daily (yes, daily) festival commemorating the sunset over the Gulf in Clearwater Beach—Sunsets at Pier 60. People come together to enjoy live music from local artists, watch street performers and shop for one-of-a-kind souvenirs from local vendors – all while waiting for the sun to deliver its breathtaking sunset performance.
