St. Pete’s massive spread of local makers always happens right after Thanksgiving to help get everyone in the mood for Christmas shopping. Over 300 local vendors sling a mix of locally-produced and imported wares, featuring everything from art, crafts, jewelry and clothing to homegoods, food and beverages, toiletries and plants.

Just a handful of its many vendors include Herban Flow, Florida Pure Sea Salt, 5801 Print House (goods pictured), Fox & Crow, Sugar Cream Clay, Gulf Coast Soapworks and The Sunshine Pickle Co. alongside many, many more.

And if the sheer size of this maker’s market is a little intimidating, Shopaplooza’s website has an organized vendor list and event map, alongside other useful information. Besides its massive spread of vendors, Shopapalooza will also host a kid’s activity zone, raffles and live entertainment. Co-sponsored by the City of St. Pete this year, Shopapalooza’s nonprofit partners include the St. Pete Youth Farm and Jump for Kids.

St. Pete’s Shopapalooza happens Saturday-Sunday, Nov. 25-26. at Vinoy Park.
