So more about our BIG news! LocalShops1's Shopapalooza Festival has been awarded funding to be part of the new monthlong Art Everywhere celebration this fall, made possible by a Creative Pinellas grant through Pinellas County arts tourism funding.

With support from this grant, we’ll bring Dockside Sessions to the community during Palooza, Nov 28-29 at Vinoy Park. Think live painting, live sounds, and all the best St. Pete vibes, all with the beautiful bay in the backdrop, and holiday-themed boats, too. This is in addition to Palooza's main stage, 350+ local vendors, and all the fun and games you've come to expect from the biggest Small Business Saturday (and Sunday!) party around.

We’re so excited to join the incredible lineup of nearly 30 local artists and organizations helping make art truly everywhere — celebrating the creativity, people, and places that make our cultural community special and the St. Pete-Clearwater region such a vibrant place to live and visit.

More info to come!
