Corey Avenue Spring Art & Craft Festival April 2027

About This Call

The Corey Avenue Art & Craft Festivals return for their 33rd annual season, transforming the historic Corey Avenue into a lively, open-air marketplace.

The charming Corey Avenue district is set to be transformed once again as the Corey Avenue Art & Craft Festivals return for their 33rd annual season.

This popular, long-running tradition transforms the historic Corey Avenue—the cultural and social "heart" of downtown St. Pete Beach—into a lively, open-air marketplace. The avenue is celebrated for its unique blend of "Old Florida" charm and vibrant community, featuring a mix of local businesses and rich history.

Hosted by the Corey Area Business Association (CABA), these multi-day festivals are a highlight—a must-visit for tourists, art lovers, and collectors seeking handcrafted treasures. For over three decades, the events have brought world-class artistry to the neighborhood, driving economic activity for exhibitors and local businesses.

Visitors are invited to stroll the avenue, meet talented exhibitors, and support the diverse array of small businesses, boutiques, and locally owned restaurants that collectively make Corey Avenue unique.

Join us on Corey Avenue for these Additional 2027 dates: January 2-3 / June 5-6 / October 9-10 / December 4-5

All events are pet and family friendly, and admission is FREE.
