Market Mania: Fresh Finds & Sunny Vibes
Is there anything better than a Sunday morning spent wandering through a market, coffee in hand, discovering local treasures? We think not! Pinellas County knows how to do markets right, and this weekend, you've got options hotter than the summer asphalt.
- Corey Ave Sunday Fresh Market
- St. Pete Beach, 6850 Beach Plaza, St. Pete Beach
- Every Sunday, 10:00 AM
- This lively market right off St. Pete Beach offers fresh produce, artisanal crafts, and all sorts of local deliciousness – the perfect excuse to hit the sand afterward. Parking can be a little tight, so get there early or be prepared to cruise the side streets!
- St. Pete Sunday Market
- USF St. Pete Campus, 855 28th St S, St. Petersburg
- Every third Sunday, 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Tropicana Field Thrills & Post-Game Beats
Alright, sports fans and music lovers, get ready for a double-header of fun! Our beloved Tampa Bay Rays are taking on the Orioles at Tropicana Field. You know the drill: grab your tickets, put on your best Rays gear, and get ready to cheer on our boys in blue (and white, and sometimes green!).
- Orioles vs. Tampa Bay Rays
- Tropicana Field, 1 Tropicana Dr., St. Petersburg
- Sunday, August 16, 12:15 PM
- Nothing beats the roar of the crowd, the smell of hot dogs, and the pure electric energy of a live baseball game right here in the Burg.
But wait, there's more! After the game on Friday (check your calendars for the specific game and post-game event), stick around at The Trop because the Rays often host a FREE post-game concert! It's the perfect way to cap off a night of baseball, whether the Rays win or lose (but let's be real, they're gonna win). Enjoy some live music, soak up the atmosphere, and let the good times roll without dipping into your wallet for another ticket.
Silent Disco Shenanigans: Dance Like No One's Listening
For those who like to get a little wild and wacky after dark, but maybe don't want to shout over the music to chat with your friends, we've got an event for you! Get ready to put on some headphones and dance your heart out at Par Bar AFTER DARK on Friday night. Yes, Par Bar, our favorite miniature golf spot with a full bar, is hosting a silent disco!
If you've never experienced a silent disco, you are in for a treat. You get a set of wireless headphones with different channels, each playing a different DJ or genre. So one person might be grooving to disco, while their friend next to them is head-banging to rock, and another is swaying to R&B. It's hilarious to watch (and participate in!) as people randomly burst into song or bust out moves that don't quite match the visible music. It's an incredibly fun, unique, and surprisingly social way to spend a Friday night. Plus, Par Bar is just a cool spot to begin with. The party kicks off at 8:00 PM, and trust us, you won't want to miss the silent, symphonic chaos.
