Corey Avenue Art & Craft Festivals Dec 5 & 6, 2026

Step into the heart of St. Pete Beach for a festive weekend of holiday shopping at the Corey Avenue Holiday Art & Craft Festival. On Saturday, December 5 and Sunday, December 6, from 10 am to 5 pm, the island's most historic shopping district transforms into a sprawling, pedestrian-only open-air gallery, perfect for checking off everyone on your holiday gift list. Stretching between Gulf Boulevard and Blind Pass Road, this premier free event invites you to stroll through a curated collection of world-class art and unique, handmade treasures—all set against the backdrop of classic "Old Florida" charm decorated for the season. As you explore the vibrant displays, you'll be surrounded by the district's best specialty boutiques and local galleries, creating a festive shopping experience that perfectly captures a relaxed, coastal holiday atmosphere. Hosted by the Corey Area Business Association (CABA), these multi-day festivals are a must-visit for art lovers, holiday shoppers, and anyone seeking meaningful, handcrafted gifts while supporting the historic district. "For over three decades, the Corey Avenue Art & Craft Festivals have been a cornerstone of our community, and our December event is the ultimate destination for holiday gift-finding," 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 the perfect place to shop small and shop local this season." The two-day weekend event features a curated collection of contemporary crafts and fine art from skilled artisans across the nation, making it easy to find unforgettable gifts: • Handcrafted Holiday Treasures: Attendees can browse a diverse array of unique, American-made items, including stunning wearable jewelry and accessories, functional pottery and ceramics, original fine art (paintings and photography), and stylish clothing and holiday home décor. • The Sunday 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 perfect for holiday hosting or gift baskets. • Vibrant Festive 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 or Twisted Tiki Bar & Grill for lunch and a festive cocktail, or pop into specialty boutiques like Coastal Cottage and JoJo's Boutique & Curvy Mermaid for some extra holiday retail therapy. The festival provides a free, fun, and community-focused experience that directly benefits the economic health of the Corey Avenue district during the peak of the winter shopping season. The 32nd Season of the Corey Avenue Art & Craft Festival is located at 300 Corey Avenue in St. Pete Beach, FL. The upcoming festival times are 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday, December 5, and Sunday, December 6, 2026. The event is pet and family-friendly, and admission is FREE.
